These are the most common type. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Endosteal implants can support single crowns, multiple-tooth bridges, or even full dentures.
Less common than endosteal implants, subperiosteal implants are placed on top of the jawbone, under the gum tissue. A metal framework with attached teeth is then attached to the implant.
It's important to note that while these are the primary types, there are variations and combinations of implants used depending on the specific needs of the patient. Your dentist will determine the best type for your situation.
Dental implant surgery is a procedure to replace missing teeth with artificial ones. A titanium post, acting as the tooth root, is surgically implanted into the jawbone. Once the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration), a connecting piece (abutment) is attached, followed by the artificial tooth (crown, bridge, or denture). This process usually involves multiple appointments and healing periods, resulting in a durable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
