Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials like titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering a natural-looking and permanent solution for missing teeth.
Types of Dental Implants
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Endosteal | Placed directly into the jawbone (most common type). |
| Subperiosteal | Placed under the gum but above the jawbone (used when bone is insufficient). |
| All-on-4 | Four implants supporting an entire arch of teeth. |
| Zygomatic | Anchored into the cheekbone for those with severe upper jaw bone loss. |
