Regular Implants Vs Basal Implants

A lot of patients have the curiosity to know the difference between Basal implants and conventional implants. Well, the basic difference between conventional implants and the basal implant is that conventional implants need bone grafting whereas basal implants do not need. However, basal implants are a much safer and faster method of repairing damaged teeth.

Basic Difference between Regular Implants and Basal Implants


Basal implants are mostly known as better alternatives to traditional implants. Here’s how they are different from each other:

Looks of the implants

Regular Dental implants basically consist of the implant & the abutment. When the abutment is secured with a screw onto the implant, it is known as a three-piece implant. Basal implants are 1 piece implants in which the abutment and the implant are focused on 1 single piece. This is the reason why Basal implants have less failure rate than conventional implants. As the abutment and implant are fused into 1 single piece, it minimizes the failure that is caused due to interface problems in between connections.

Location of both the implants

The regular implants are mostly positioned inside the crestal alveolar bone. This bone is prone to resorption. As the bone is soft, it gets lost eventually after the tooth is removed. On the other hand, basal implants are inserted into the Basal bone which is stronger than the alveolar bone and is less prone to resorption. The Basal bone is long lasting and gives the implant sturdy support throughout life. Hence it prevents tooth loss.

Procedure for both implants                   


Regular implants need bone grafting and it almost takes three to four months for the implants to get healed completely. Therefore multiple visits are required.

Whereas, Basal implants do not need bone grafting as the procedure gets completed in just one sitting.
