Dental Implants

Are your missing teeth preventing you from eating the foods you like?

Dental implants are an increasingly popular and reliable solution for people who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or disease. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants offer a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth. In this essay we'll explore the various types of dental implants, their process, advantages of having implants, and how to care for them properly.

Types of Dental Implants

Dental implants come in two main varieties: endosteal and subperiosteal.

Endosteal Implants

Endosteal implants are the most popular type of dental implant. Made of titanium, they are placed directly into the jawbone and fuse with surrounding bone tissue through osseointegration - which takes several months. Once fully fused to the jawbone, an abutment connects to it serving as a support point for replacement teeth made from porcelain or ceramic.

Subperiosteal Implants

Subperiosteal implants are less common than endosteal ones and usually used when people do not have enough healthy jawbone tissue to support an endosteal implant. Instead of being placed directly into the jawbone, subperiosteal implants are placed beneath the gum tissue but above it. A metal framework attaches to this implant which holds your replacement teeth in place.
