Plate or Blade Type Dental Implants
A Plate, or Blade type implant, is a Dental Implant that is inserted right into the patients jawbone. This is due to their jawbone not being wide enough or structurally sound enough to support a regular dental implant properly.
The Plate type implant is designed differently; it is a long and narrow flat blade type of device attached directly to the jawbone to support the implant. The Plate type Implant would then take 3 – 4 to complete the osseointegration period. **In some cases implants are immediately fitted with the restoration without waiting for the osseointegration period. Dr. Robison will determine if the Blade form implant is right for you, and if the restoration can begin at the same time.
Pros and Cons of Plate or Blade Type Dental Implants
The biggest draw back or challenge of the plate type implant is that it’s more difficult to place since it is actually being inserted right in the jawbone.
The best thing about plate form implant is that it allows implants in places where the jaw bone is to thin and not able to support the heavier screw implants. If the plate type implant isn’t used, the patient would possibly need a bone graft to help support the heavier screw implant.
