Hi Dr. Zelken, could you please advice might it be any bone resorption under the jaw implants in time? Is it a case for all implants including customized PEEK implants or only for silicone implants? Is it possible that implants could last 20-30 years without any bone resorption and what are the risks if bone resorption started?
PEEK is superior to silicone because it's hard material like bone. Three things are important: the design, the placement and the way the soft tissue is wrapped around it. It's one of the most difficult pricedures to get right. You can easily go too fare and create an uncanny look. Too little and you won't get much of an eastethic affect. In combination with chin, you'll get the best effect.
I feel like the customer implant will be so pricey. Could you give us an estimate price?
