how many implants are needed for a full arch reconstruction in the lower jaw?

Dear Patient,

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I understand that you are missing a tooth and are interested in dental implants as a solution, with the main concerns being cost and the ability to laugh without worries. As a specialist in Dental, Oral, and Maxillofacial Surgery with a focus on ultrashort BICON implants, I can assure you that you have made a wise decision.

BICON ultrashort implants offer a series of advantages including a reduced need for bone grafting, less invasive procedures, shorter treatment span, cost-effectiveness, and a potential for lower risk of complications. These implants, which are 8mm or less long, require a distinct approach and surgical procedure to ensure long-term results. They are not screwed into the bone like conventional implants, but tapped into it, providing a more stable grip.

The surgical procedure for BICON implant placement is kept as least traumatic as possible. This is achieved by working on a very reduced bone surface and avoiding excessive pressure on the vital bone. Low-drilling techniques are employed to prevent bone perforation and nerve trauma.

Our treatment plan involves three steps:

First, we will insert four to six short implants in the upper and/or lower jaw under local anesthesia. This surgery requires one to two hours per jaw. Two follow-up visits are recommended 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery.

Second, three months after the implant placement, a small incision will be made in the soft tissue to affix the prosthetic component. You will then be provided with a replica of your prosthetic to test and discuss any desired aesthetic modifications.

Third, three days after the impression-taking, you will have a chance to try on the prosthetic replica and make any last-minute aesthetic corrections. The final prosthetic is then inserted 48 hours later.

Regarding the cost, the price per arch varies between 12,000€ and 20,000€, depending on the number of implants and the type of prosthetic you select.

I hope this letter addresses all your concerns and questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any further clarification or information.

Kind regards,

Prof. Dr. Mauro Marincola
