Are you facing any dental problems? Did your dentist suggest a dental implant? Dental implants are the single best option for tooth replacement. Furthermore, the overall goal of dental implant dentistry is to restore functionality and aesthetics as well.
Now you might be wondering what are the types of dental implants and how the procedures take place. Let us take you on a tour to the procedures and implant types that will help you make the choice easier and without any hassles in mind.
Types Of Dental Implants
Dental implants are made from titanium and are in small size which gets easily placed into the jaw bone replacing the root of your tooth. No matter what type of tooth loss has occurred, implants are perfect for every case. Now, let’s explore the various types of implants.
i) Single Implants
The most common implant type is an endosteal implant. It is a single tooth replacement. These implants are the best for most patients but one needs to have a strong and healthy jawbone. These implants are shaped in the form of screws which take place of the tooth root. The best part about this procedure is there is virtually no pain. Once the healing is over, the tooth crown can be screwed into the implant to look like and fit the rest of your teeth.
ii) All on 4 Dental Implants
If you are missing all of your teeth, your dentist might recommend a procedure called ‘All on 4’ to replace all of your teeth with a permanent denture. It is considered as the best alternative for people who will lose all of their teeth or are currently wearing dentures. This procedure will change your life. This allows your denture to be stable, fixed and depending on your choice, permanent or removable.
iii) Zygomatic Implants
For some people who have been without teeth for a very long time, there are new techniques that use the bone in your cheek for the implant placement. This is a good option for people with no other options. Kind of like a last resort dental implant.
