Non-Surgical (Flapless) Implants
Non-surgical—or flapless—implant placement uses a tiny punch access instead of a full incision and stitches. Guided by CBCT 3D imaging and digital surgical guides, implants are positioned accurately with minimal trauma, leading to less swelling, less post-op discomfort and faster recovery.
Minimally Invasive
No large incisions or sutures in suitable cases—reduced bleeding and swelling.
Precision Planning
CBCT-based planning and CAD/CAM guides help avoid nerves, sinus and roots for safe placement.
Faster Recovery
Typically shorter chair time, mild discomfort and a quicker return to normal life.
Aesthetic Soft Tissues
Preservation of blood supply may support healthier, more stable gum contours around the implant.
Who Is a Candidate?
Flapless placement is ideal when bone volume and soft tissues are favourable and the implant site is clearly visible on CBCT. We consider it for:
- Single-tooth gaps or short bridges with adequate bone width and height
- Healed extraction sites with healthy gums and good hygiene
- Immediate placement after extraction where stability is achievable
If bone is insufficient or anatomy is complex, a small flap or guided bone regeneration may still be the safer choice.
What to Expect
- Digital Planning: CBCT scan, intraoral scans and digital prosthetic planning.
- Surgical Guide: CAD/CAM guide fabricated to transfer the plan with accuracy.
- Flapless Placement: Tissue punch, osteotomy through the guide, implant insertion.
- Immediate Crown (case-dependent): A temporary crown may be fitted if primary stability is high.
- Healing: Soft-tissue maturation and osseointegration over weeks to months before the final crown.
Aftercare & Recovery
Expect mild tenderness for 24–48 hours; most patients manage with routine pain relief. Keep the area clean with gentle brushing, avoid hard chewing on the implant side initially, and attend your review visits for monitoring and hygiene support.
