Types of Dental Implants
Dental implants typically have three parts:
1.
The Implant: A screw that serves as a
root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw.
2.
The Abutment: A permanent, but removable
by your doctor, connector that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth.
3.
The Crown (or prosthetic tooth): This is
the part of the tooth that you can see. It’s usually made of zirconium or
porcelain for durability and good looks.
Type of Dental Implants
1.
Endosteal (in the bone): This is the most
commonly used type of implant. The various types include screws, cylinders or
blades surgically placed into the jawbone. Each implant holds one or more
prosthetic teeth. This type of implant is generally used as an alternative for
patients with bridges or removable dentures.
2.
Subperiosteal (on the bone): These are placed on
top of the jaw with the metal framework's posts protruding through the gum to
hold the prosthesis. These types of implants are used for patients who are
unable to wear conventional dentures and who have minimal bone height.
1.
Replacing a Single Tooth (Single Tooth
Implants): If you are missing a
single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it.
2.
Replacing Several Teeth (Multiple Implants): If you are missing several teeth,
implant-supported bridges can replace them.
3.
Replacing All of Your Teeth(All-on-4TM
Implants): If you are missing all
of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace
them. When sinus is too close for implants in upper jaw and nerve is too close
for implants in lower jaw are good indications of All-on-4TM Implants.
If you are considering implants, you must have healthy gums
and adequate bone to support the implant. If your bone is too thin or soft and
unable to support an implant, you may require a bone graft. Or if there is not
enough bone height in the upper jaw or the sinuses are too close to the jaw,
you may require a sinus lift. Sinus
Augmentation and Ridge Modification: Depending on your conditions your dentist
may need to plan for Sinus Augmentation and Ridge Modification.
All-on-4TM Implants
