Which Types Of Dental Implants Are Right For You?
A question often asked is, “What are the different types of dental implants?” It’s an excellent question. With advancements in dental technology, the options can seem endless. The variety is enough to make your head spin. Yet, not all implants are made equal, and neither are all smiles.
At Implants GPS, we don’t believe in generic answers. As accomplished dental implant specialists, we understand your smile is as unique as you are. Our skilled oral surgeons and prosthodontists, our state-of-the-art in-house lab, and our individualized treatment plans form a harmonious synergy to deliver you the most fitting dental implant solution.
Enhance Bone Strength with Endosteal Dental Implants
Endosteal implants are the most common type preferred by many dentists and patients. They resemble tiny screws that are placed directly into your jawbone, providing solid support for artificial teeth.
Endosteal implants are a great choice for those with a healthy jawbone. They mimic your natural tooth root, offering strength and stability that is hard to surpass. After a healing period that allows the implant to integrate with the bone, an abutment, and a crown are added to complete the procedure.
Being the most familiar type, endosteal implants have been vastly successful in replicating natural teeth look, feel, and functionality. This type is often an excellent choice for patients missing one or more teeth and with a healthy jawbone.
Use Subperiosteal Implants for Minimal Bone Involvement
Subperiosteal implants, in contrast to endosteal ones, are positioned above the jawbone but beneath the gum line. This structure makes them suitable for patients who don’t have enough bone height or who cannot undergo a bone augmentation procedure for any reason.
The main advantage of subperiosteal implants is that they offer a tooth replacement solution for those who otherwise might not be able to receive dental implants. This allows for more comprehensive treatment options for those with varying jawbone conditions.
Solve Severe Bone Loss with Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants offer another solution for severe bone loss cases. These implants are anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma), rather than the jawbone, making them the longest type of implant.
Though less commonly used, zygomatic implants offer an alternative to patients with very severe bone loss who otherwise would need extensive bone grafting to receive traditional implants.
Other types of implants also require a healing period to integrate with the bone before an artificial tooth is attached.
