There are two types of dental implants:

Endosteal (in the bone)

These implants are the most commonly used type and is implanted directly into the bone using screws, cylinders or blades in order to hold replacement teeth. This is an excellent option for individual who are seeing alternatives for bridges or dentures.

Subperiosteal (on the bone)

On the bone dental implants are placed on top of the jaw, secured with metal framework posts that protrude through the patient’s gums. These implants are often ideal for those who have inadequate bone height or cannot wear traditional dentures.

Who is eligible for dental implant surgery?

In order to undergo a dental implant procedure, it is often recommended that the patient is in good oral and overall health. The patient must have adequate bone in their jaw in order to support the implants, as well as healthy gum tissue, ideally free of periodontal disease.
