Who is not a candidate for flapless implants?→
Patients with insufficient bone height or width, severe gum disease, or significant bone resorption are generally not suited to the flapless method, because the implant needs healthy bone to hold firmly. In these cases a bone graft or a conventional approach is usually safer. The right method is decided after 3D CT diagnosis.
Does flapless mean the procedure is completely painless?→
No procedure can promise zero pain, and sensitivity varies by patient. However, because only a small opening is made at the necessary position without incision, post-operative discomfort, swelling, and bleeding tend to be reduced compared with flap surgery, and anesthesia is used during the procedure.
How does the flapless method shorten the treatment period?→
Because the gum is not cut open, there is no incision-healing period, and the procedure is simplified from two surgical stages to one. The overall timeline still depends on how quickly the implant integrates with your bone, so the exact schedule is confirmed after diagnosis.
