Dental Implants
A dental implant can be one of two types of dental work. An implant is technically a metal screw that is affixed to the jawbone in a surgical procedure.
This implant is used to attach a tooth prosthetic that is screwed onto the permanently fused screw.
A dental implant provides a stable foundation for a denture, bridge, or crown. It looks and acts like a tooth root, offering tissue support under and on the jawbone.
Types of Dental Implants
Several types of dental implants are available to replace permanent teeth.
Zygomatic for implants in the upper jaw bone or cheek, which is the most complicated.
Subperiosteal, which is on the lower jawbone.
Endosteal, in the jawbone, which is the most common.
There are other ways to discuss tooth implants with our dentist. Consider how many teeth you need to replace with implants.
While patients can opt for a single tooth implant, the full All-in-4 implant is well suited for patients getting dentures. Implants can replace one or all of your teeth. In addition, your dentist may be able to provide all-inclusive dental implants and dentures in just one day.
All-in-4 Implants
Slightly different from all-inclusive dental implants, an All-in-4 implant provides four dental implants. These implants are positioned at the rear of the jaw and the top and bottom jaws. The purpose of All-in-4 dental implants is to provide more stability for a full set of top and bottom dentures. The patient can remove the dentures for cleaning and maintenance while gaining additional support throughout the day.
All-Inclusive Implants
An all-inclusive implant includes all the procedures from start to finish with an implant. You can complete the initial dental exam, pre-prosthetic surgery, and dental implant surgery at the same dental office. In addition, some procedures can be completed in a single day, reducing the stress and anxiety of visiting the dentist.
