Create a Beautiful Smile with Subperiosteal Dental Implants
Subperiosteal dental implants present an effective alternative for individuals with insufficient jawbone density, who may not be suited for conventional implants involving bone grafting. These implants use a bespoke metal framework that is placed over the jawbone and beneath the gums, making them ideal for patients facing advanced bone loss.
At Smilo Dental Implants Belfast, Dr. Aoife Gallagher offers expert treatment with subperiosteal implants, delivering tailored solutions that cater to each patient’s unique oral anatomy. His method combines precision and aesthetic focus, helping patients regain confidence and improved dental function.

I wanted a strong, permanent fix after years of crowns and bridges. All-on-6 gave me that and more. I feel healthier, younger, and haven’t stopped smiling since.
Georgia NaylorLosing a back tooth made chewing difficult and made me feel older than I am. The implant blends in completely, and it feels no different to the real thing. I’m very grateful for the excellent care I received.
Martin ReevesI was told elsewhere that implants weren’t possible due to bone loss. But here, they offered zygomatic implants—and it was the perfect solution. I’m smiling again without fear or discomfort.
Jaspreet KaurI’d lost most of my upper teeth and felt embarrassed smiling. With the All-on-4 treatment, I left with a secure, full set of teeth on the same day. It’s given me back more than just my smile—it’s given me my life back.

Subperiosteal Implants Recovery Timeline
72+
hrs
Initial Recovery
(First 72 Hours)
During the early recovery period, it’s normal to experience some swelling and mild discomfort around the implant area. This is a typical response following surgery. To manage any symptoms effectively, it’s important to take prescribed pain relief exactly as advised by your dental surgeon. Applying a cold compress to the affected area can also help reduce swelling and provide soothing relief.

days
Short-term Healing
(First Few Weeks)
In the weeks that follow the placement of subperiosteal implants, it is essential to take extra care to protect the site from unnecessary pressure or trauma. At this stage, the gum tissue is healing and the metal framework is beginning to integrate with the surrounding tissues. Patients are encouraged to stick to soft foods that don’t require much chewing, as this reduces stress on the implant and supports proper healing.
4-8
months
Long-term Care
(Following Months)
The months after the procedure are vital for the success and stability of the implant. As the gums continue to heal and better secure the framework, regular dental appointments are important. These allow your dentist to monitor progress, make any necessary adjustments, and identify any potential issues early. Ongoing care and attention are key to ensuring the implant remains functional and long-lasting.
