No bone grafting and best success rate
Aย basal implantย is a specialized dental implant anchored in theย basal part of the bone, also known as theย cortical bone, the strongest and most mineralized section of the jawbone. Unlike traditional implants that depend onย osseointegrationย in the softer spongy bone and require lengthy treatment times, basal implants utilize theย durable cortical boneย forย immediate stability.
Basal implants rely on a uniqueย mode of retention, being secured like screws into theย hard, mineralized cortical bone, which does not integrate in the same way as spongy bone. This makesย immediate loadingย essential, allowing the prosthesis to connect the implants and evenly distributeย masticatory forcesย across the jaw, ensuring both stability and functionality.
There are two main types of basal implants:
At our dental centers, we specialize in the latest-generation basal implants, recognized for their advanced design and reliability, making them an ideal solution for complex dental cases.
Ihde Dental - The modern basal implantolgy
Theย new generation of basal implantย was developed in the late 1990s in Switzerland byย Professor S. Ihde. Manufactured near Zurich in theย canton of St. Gallen, these implants are branded byย Ihde Dental.
Professor Ihde and Anveli Dental specialize in using this advanced technology to treat the most complex cases around the world.
The placement of the new generation basal implant and the fixation of the prosthesis are completed in a single 7-day treatment process. The procedure typically spans 4 days, during which the patient will have at least 5 clinic visits for various tests and adjustments. The final days focus on follow-up visits to ensure optimal outcomes. Unlike rushed 3-day treatments that involve only one adjustment, we prioritize a comprehensive approach for long-term success.
Prostheses designed forย basal dental implantsย are highly specialized to ensureย perfect stabilityย and optimalย distribution of chewing forcesย across all implants. Theย loading protocolย is meticulously followed to achieve durable and effective results. The laboratories of theย International Implant Foundation, under the leadership ofย Professor Ihdeย in Munich, have developedย high-tech materialsย that meet the stringent requirements of basal implant prosthetic protocols. These advanced materials combine all the necessary qualities to ensure the long-term success of the treatment and patient satisfaction.

โIs the Basal Implant Viable or Dangerous?โ
While no medical intervention is entirely risk-free,ย basal implantsย are highly viable when performed under the right conditions. With proper adherence to protocols and mastery of the technology, success rates exceedย 99%.
Key Factors for Success
During a dental implant treatment, you can benefitย from a procedure that allows the operation to be performed underย general anesthesia or under sedation. This latter procedure, which is more gentle, allows you to be treated in outpatient care (You can go home or to the hotel the same evening without the need to stay in the dental clinic.) Most patients receiving implantology treatment ask to be put asleep which took place in a few minutes.

Basal implantology being a technology requiring a significant infrastructure and specific training for the entire medical chain (ย Dental surgeon, prosthetist, techniciansย ), most dentists do not have the necessary qualifications to place a basal implant. Everyone preaches for their own parish, they will tend to underestimate the qualities of the basal implant. Although it is indeed not suitable for replacing 1 or 2 teeth, the basal implant provides the best success rate when it comes to replacing all the teeth in the jaw.
To find out if you are eligible for a basal implant, you must firstย contactย our expertise department. They will send you all the documents necessary to obtain a treatment plan and an estimate. Basal implantology is especially suitable for complete restorations of the dentition. For patients wishing to replace only one or two teeth, other systems may be offered to you which will provide the best success rate.
The price of a basal implant differs according to several criteria. The place of the operation (the price of the basal implant tends to be higher in our dental clinic in Switzerland), the operative complexity (Plus the operation is complex, the longer the placement of the basal implant will be, the higher the price will be), the type of basal implant (there are more than a hundred different sizes and shapes, the price of the implant basal implant varies according to these criteria). It is estimated that the price of a basal implant (Ihde Dental Original) varies between 500 โฌ and 800 โฌ. Attention, some dental clinics offer copies of basal implants often charging for them below 400 โฌ.
The BOI implant is the first generation of a basal implant. It was invented thirty years ago by a French university professor from Nice. The BOI basal implant obtains impressive results but requires an invasive operation because the implanted disc is placed by the lateral approach. Also, a detachment of the gum is necessary and shearing of the bone must be carried out. It is, therefore, necessary that the treatment be carried out in 2 stages.
In general, the treatment lasts between 4 and 5 days but we ask our patients to allow 7 days in order to overcome any unforeseen circumstances and in order to carry out check-ups and adjustments.ย See the progress of the operation

It depends, a basal implant is considered by Social welfare as a dental implant. If yourย your health insurance covers this type of care you can get a refund.

The basal implants are made from a stable alloy of medical titanium. This material is neutral and without risk of allergy.
Yes, it is indeed possible and even advisable to place this type of dental implant immediately after tooth extraction. This allows the bone to build upon the implant and avoids a second trauma.ย See more on immediate dental implant
The basal implant is made of a stable titanium alloy. They can therefore last a lifetime. Indeed this material does not degrade and is not subject to any corrosion.
The number of implants required is defined after a study by our expert service. The protocol of the International Implant Foundation and Prof. Ihde recommends 10 basal implants on the upper jaw and 8 implants on the lower jaw. This number may be revised based on clinical findings such as loss and lack of bone for example.
For the maintenance of dental implants, we recommend the use of an ultrasonic toothbrush as well as a range of products specially adapted for basal dental implants. See recommended maintenance products
It is strongly recommended that you entrust the follow-up of your basal implantology treatment to the practitioner who carried out the care and the installation of the basal type dental implants. He knows your oral situation and has your medical file. Also, the treatment protocol is specific and a particular qualification is necessary. There are not many dentists who have been trained and obtained qualifications in basal implantology. However, you can carry out your postoperative follow-up in one of the dental clinics which practice basal implantology.
Have you been told you don’t have enough bone for dental implants? Don’t lose hope! When dentists say this, they usually refer to the spongy bone needed for traditional implants. Basal implants offer a different approach.
Basal Implants: A Solution for Insufficient Bone
Basal implants, are anchored in the cortical bone. This is the dense, outer layer of bone that remains strong even after significant bone loss.
Why Choose Basal Implants?
ย Cortical bone provides a stable base for your new teeth.
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for traditional implants due to bone loss, basal implants may be the solution. Consult with our qualified expert to discuss your options.
Like any medical intervention the 0% risk does not exist. However the BAx basal implant is much less risky than other implantology systems, moreover, post-operative corrections are possible unlike implantology traditionalย See the risks of the basal implant
Yes, although smoking causes many problems for oral and general health, the success rate in smokers who have had basal implantation is the same as in non-patients. However, smoking is strongly contraindicated in patients with traditional dental implants.ย See our article on the implant basal in smokers
