About the Treatment

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium post (like a tooth root) that is precisely positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line, enabling your dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge in that area.

An implant doesn't come loose like a denture can. Dental implants also benefit general oral health since they don't need to be secured to other teeth like a bridge. If you are considering dental implants, you need 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.

Types of Implants

Implant Options

Endosteal Implants

These are the most common type of implant and are precisely placed directly into the jawbone — also called root-form implants. They are often shaped like small screws, cylinders, or plates.

Subperiosteal Implant

This type of implant consists of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just under the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone.
