Implants with little bone, in Málaga
Including the cases other clinics decline for want of bone.
When there is no bone left to work with
Bone resorbs after teeth are lost, and untreated gum disease speeds it up. In extreme cases the jaw is left with a volume that will not take conventional implants however much grafting is proposed.
Alternatives for severe atrophy
We work with zygomatic implants, anchored in the cheekbone rather than the jaw, and with custom-made subperiosteal frameworks. They are techniques with limited indications, but they resolve situations whose only alternative was a removable denture.
A verdict of "not possible" issued years ago is worth revisiting on a current CT scan.
-
Cases other clinics rule out
Severe bone loss has a solution with the right technique and planning.
-
Decided on the 3D scan
We measure the bone actually available before proposing any technique.
-
Without giving up aesthetics
Bone reconstruction also shapes the final aesthetic result, and is planned with it in mind.

Severe atrophy cases in Málaga
It is one of the reasons patients are referred to this centre from other provinces.
Every case is studied on a CT scan with three-dimensional planning before any technique is proposed.
- Zygomatic implants for severe upper jaw atrophy.
- Subperiosteal frameworks made to measure.
- CT study before any indication is given.
How we approach a case with little bone
-
Volumetric diagnosis
CBCT and measurement of the bone available at each position. This is where we decide whether to regenerate, lift or change the anchorage.
-
Planning the technique
The procedure is chosen and the outcome simulated digitally, including the final position of the prosthesis.
-
Surgery and follow-up
Guided surgery and more frequent post-operative checks than usual, because regeneration needs monitoring.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 What happens if I do not have enough bone for implants?
It is either regenerated or an alternative anchorage is found. Guided bone regeneration, sinus lift, grafting or zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone: the technique is chosen by measuring the bone actually available on the 3D study.
02 Another clinic told me I am not a candidate. Is a second opinion worth it?
Yes. It is the most common reason for consultation in this area. Many cases were ruled out because they required a technique that clinic does not perform, not because they had no solution.
03 What are zygomatic implants?
They are longer implants anchored in the cheekbone rather than the upper jaw. They make it possible to rehabilitate upper arches where hardly any bone is left, avoiding extensive grafting and shortening timescales.
04 Does bone regeneration make treatment much longer?
It depends on the defect. In some cases regeneration happens in the same surgical session as implant placement; in others a preliminary stage of several months is needed. You are told from the outset, in the treatment plan.
05 Is surgery with regeneration more painful?
Recovery usually involves more swelling than a straightforward implant, controllable with the prescribed medication. Using PRGF, obtained from the patient’s own blood, helps healing to be faster and more comfortable.
