Dental implants are artificial teeth that are inserted into the jaw in order to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Implants are a good option for those who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, extraction, etc.

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.
