Achieve a Stunning Smile with Customized Jaw Implants

Jaw implants can change lower-face contour by adding volume along selected parts of the mandible. They are different from dental implants and do not correct every dental bite or jaw-position problem.

Assessment before treatment

Planning should review facial and jaw anatomy, bite, teeth, skin and soft tissue, medical history, medicines, smoking, previous surgery and goals. Orthodontic or maxillofacial assessment may be appropriate when function or skeletal position is relevant.

Options and alternatives

Implants vary in material, size and position. Alternatives may include no treatment, temporary filler, fat transfer, chin treatment, orthodontics or jaw surgery depending on the concern. Each has different limits and risks; “customised” does not guarantee a result.

Risks and aftercare

Risks include bleeding, infection, altered sensation, asymmetry, implant movement or exposure, injury to teeth or nerves, bone change and further surgery. Follow-up and oral or wound care depend on the approach. Confirm the named contracted surgeon, hospital, implant plan and urgent-contact route in writing.
