Custom facial onlay implants for mandibular contouring, malar projection, orbital rim definition, asymmetry correction, and contour restoration.
How to acquire the CT/CBCT we need for an accurate onlay design — our requirements from your side, on one printable sheet. No dental scan required.
An onlay is a custom implant that adds contour to the facial skeleton without cutting or moving the bone beneath it. Shaped to the patient's own anatomy, it sits on the bone like a precise extension of it and is fixed in one defined position.
The goal is not a generic volume added to the face. Shape, thickness, edge blending, and screw position are planned together so the implant reads as part of the bone, with no visible or palpable step at the margins.
Each onlay family follows the same planning logic. The implant is shaped to the patient, the transition zones are thinned, and the visible contour is controlled from clinically relevant views.
A wraparound mandibular onlay extends along the mandibular body, angle region, and chin border as one continuous contour. It is used when the lower facial frame requires broader definition rather than a single point augmentation.
The design must balance jawline width, gonial definition, chin transition, and soft edge blending along the inferior border.
Angle onlays augment the posterior mandibular border and gonial region. They are used to sharpen the mandibular angle, increase transverse width, or restore contour asymmetry after trauma, congenital deficiency, or prior surgery.
The posterior and inferior margins are tapered so that the implant transitions into the native mandibular ramus and body without a visible step.
Chin onlays increase anterior or inferior projection without a sliding genioplasty. They can refine the lower facial third, correct contour deficiency, and connect the central chin shape to the mandibular border.
The implant outline is planned around the mental nerve region and tapered laterally to avoid an abrupt transition into the mandibular body.
Malar onlays augment the zygomatic body and adjacent midface contour. They can increase cheek projection, improve malar symmetry, and restore deficient skeletal support in the lateral midface.
The visible contour is planned in both lateral and frontal views so that projection, upper cheek width, and infraorbital transition remain balanced.
Supraorbital rim onlays augment the upper orbital frame and brow skeleton. They are used for rim definition, contour restoration, and controlled skeletal projection in the periorbital region. By increasing brow-bone projection, they can also deepen and frame the eyes, creating the more hooded, masculine appearance often referred to as "hunter eyes".
The implant is shaped with attention to orbital contour, brow transition, and fixation corridors outside sensitive anatomy.
The digital design is checked from the surgical access, the planned fixation points, and the external contour that will be visible after soft tissue coverage.
The inner surface follows the individual bone so that the implant seats in one defined position during surgery.
The outer contour and border thickness are reduced near the margins to avoid a palpable or visible edge.
Screw positions are selected together with the implant shape and the intended surgical approach.
