Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium or zirconia, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture. They provide a permanent solution for people who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, gum disease, decay, or other reasons.
Types of Implants
Endosteal Implants
- The most common type.
- Surgically placed directly into the jawbone.
- Made of titanium, shaped like small screws.
Zygomatic Implants
- A complex option for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
- Implants are placed in the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the jawbone.
Subperiosteal Implants
- Placed under the gum but above the jawbone.
- Used for patients who do not have enough healthy jawbone and cannot undergo bone grafting
Basal Implants
- Anchored into the cortical (basal) bone, ideal for patients with extreme bone loss.
- Immediate loading is often possible.
