Dental Implants
- Types and Benefits
While most people are aware of the fact that
getting dental implants is the best solution for
teeth loss, not many are informed about the
different types of implants available.

The 2 Main Types of Implants
Endosteal
These Titanium implants, shaped like small
screws, are surgically placed directly into the
jawbone.
When the surrounding gum tissue is healed, a post
is connected to the original implant followed by
an artificial tooth or a denture.
They are the most commonly used dental implants.
3
Subperiosteal
These dental implants consist of a metal frame
placed right under the gum tissue, on to the
jawbone.
As the gums start healing, the frame gets fixed
to the jawbone while only the posts attached to
the frame protrude through the gums.
These implants are generally used for those who
do not have enough healthy natural jawbone.

as compared to bridges or dentures.
