Dental Implants:
What are Dental Implants:
Dental implants are stain-resistant orthodontic equipment used in conjunction with dental crowns. Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. The goal of dental implant treatment is to improve your appearance and self-esteem.
Types of Dental Implants
Endosteal Implants
Endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone and are made of titanium. Once the surrounding gum tissue heals, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant with an artificial tooth attached to the post
Subperiosteal Implants
Subperiosteal implants consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone and has posts that protrude through the gum to hold the prosthetic tooth.
Zygomatic Implants
Offering a secure foundation for prosthetic teeth without the need for bone grafting, Zygomatic implants are anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the jawbone and are used in cases where there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw.
Mini Dental Implants (MDIs)
Smaller in diameter than regular implants, MDIs are used to stabilize dentures and are less invasive to place. They are ideal for patients with insufficient bone structure and can often be placed in a single visit.
Immediate Load Dental Implants
Immediate Load Dental Implants allow for the placement of a temporary crown during the same appointment as the implant placement. This approach is suitable for patients with adequate bone structure and allows for immediate function and aesthetics.
All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 Implants involve placing four implants in the jaw to support a full arch of teeth. It is a cost-effective solution for those needing a complete set of upper or lower teeth and provides excellent stability and function.
Basal Implants
Basal Implants are placed in the basal (cortical) bone, which is highly dense and offers strong support. They are suitable for patients with significant bone loss and can often be loaded immediately.
Two-Stage Implants
Two-stage implants involve placing the implant in the jawbone and allowing it to heal completely before attaching the abutment and crown. This process ensures strong osseointegration and stability of the implant.
Single-Stage Implants
Single-stage implants are placed in one step, which protrudes through the gum, eliminating the need for a second surgery. Once the gum heals, the permanent prosthetic tooth is attached.
Ceramic Implants
Ceramic implants are an excellent alternative for patients with metal allergies or those seeking a more natural-looking option. They offer excellent biocompatibility and are known for their aesthetic appeal.
