Types of Implants

Currently, there are two state-of-the-art forms of dental implants. Both forms are made with titanium, which is biocompatible-meaning it is easily accepted by and integrated with the bone. Titanium is the same metal used in other surgical procedures, such as hip and knee replacements. It is safe and dependable.

The different types of implants can be used independently or as multi-modality treatment, based on need and each individual case.

Placed directly into the jawbone, there are two types of endosteal implants:

The Root Form Implant: Cylindrical in shape, this implant replicates the basic shape and function of the natural root.
The Blade Form Implant: Thinner than the Root Form Implant, this implant is used when the jawbone is inadequate due to height, width, or composition to support a root form implant. It acquires stability from the surface area that it occupies and integrates into.

The Subperiosteal Implant provides a lightweight metal framework, offering the equivalent of multiple tooth roots. It is used when the bone has atrophied or resorbed leaving limited bone volume.
