Endosteal Implants. The most common type of dental implant, endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone and serve as an artificial root to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
Subperiosteal Implants. Unlike endosteal implants, subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum but on, or above, the jawbone, making them suitable for patients with insufficient bone density.Zygomatic Implants. The least common type, zygomatic implants are anchored in the cheekbone rather than the jawbone and are an option for patients with severe bone loss who cannot undergo a bone graft.

What are the benefits of dental implants?
Losing a tooth can lead to difficulties in chewing and speaking clearly. If left untreated, tooth loss can result in various problems, such as tooth shifts, jawbone deterioration, facial structure, and bite imbalances. These issues usually develop over time when there is no root system to maintain bone health and alignment.
Dental implants can help prevent these oral health issues along with giving you an increased confidence of your smile!
