Dental Implant Solutions

Endosteal Dental Implants

The most common kind, endosteal dental implants, are surgically placed within the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth roots. Endosteal implants are a popular choice for single or multiple tooth replacements, providing a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth, crowns, bridges, or dentures. The implant is made of titanium and other biocompatible materials, allowing it to fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, durable base for the prosthetic tooth or teeth.

Subperiosteal Implants

For patients with insufficient jawbone density, subperiosteal implants are placed on top of the jawbone, with the metal implant post protruding through the gum to hold the prosthetic tooth or teeth in place. Unlike endosteal implants, subperiosteal implants don’t require invasive surgery within the jawbone. Instead, they‘re carefully positioned on the bony ridge, providing support for the artificial teeth without the need for extensive bone grafting procedures.

All-on-4 Implants

The All-on-4 implant solution is designed for individuals who require full upper or lower jaw restoration. By strategically positioning four implants at specific angles, this technique allows for a complete arch of replacement teeth secured with a fixed denture or bridge. The All-on-4 approach maximizes the use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting and reducing treatment time.

All-on-6 Implants

All-on-6 implants follow a similar principle to the All-on-4 concept but with the placement of six implants instead of four. This additional implant support enhances the stability and strength of the full-arch prosthesis. By distributing biting forces across six implants, rather than four, All-on-6 implants offer a more evenly distributed load, reducing the risk of implant failure and improving long-term durability. This makes them particularly suitable for patients with greater bone density or those who require increased support for their dental restoration. 

All-on-8 Implants

All-on-8 implants are an extension of the All-on-4 concept, using eight implants to support a full-arch prosthesis. This increased number of implants further enhances the stability and support of the dental restoration, providing an even distribution of biting forces. By incorporating eight implants, All-on-8 implants offer an exceptionally secure fit, particularly beneficial for patients with compromised bone density or those who require additional reinforcement for their dental prosthesis. 

Zygomatic Implants

For patients with severe jawbone deterioration, zygomatic implants are anchored in the zygomatic (cheekbone) area, bypassing the need for bone augmentation procedures. These implants are longer than traditional implants and take advantage of the dense bone in the cheekbone region, providing a viable option when there is insufficient jawbone density for conventional implant placement.

Pterygoid Implants

Pterygoid implants are anchored in the pterygoid process, a bony structure located near the back of the upper jawbone, making them suitable for cases with minimal bone density. These implant solutions offer an alternative solution when the jawbone beneath the posterior maxillary (upper jaw) region lacks adequate bone volume for standard implant surgery.

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are smaller in diameter than traditional implants and require less invasive surgery, making them an excellent option for patients with insufficient bone density or those seeking a more cost-effective solution. Despite their smaller size, mini implants can effectively support crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing a reliable and affordable tooth replacement option.

Basal Implants

Basal dental implants are designed to take advantage of the remaining jawbone structure, utilizing the dense cortical bone for optimal stability and support. These dental implant solutions are strategically placed in the available bone, often without the need for extensive grafting procedures. Basal implants offer a minimally invasive approach to tooth replacement, particularly for patients with compromised bone quality or quantity.

Hybrid Implants

Hybrid implants combine the benefits of various implant types, offering a customized approach to address specific jawbone conditions and tooth replacement needs. By incorporating elements from different implant systems, hybrid dental implant solutions provide a tailored solution that maximizes the available bone and ensures a stable, long-lasting outcome.

Same-Day Implants

For patients seeking immediate tooth replacement, same-day implants are surgically placed and restored with a temporary crown or bridge on the same day, minimizing treatment time. This dental implant solution allows you to leave the office with a functional and aesthetically pleasing temporary tooth restoration while your permanent prosthesis is being fabricated.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer a secure and comfortable solution for those seeking to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. The dentures are anchored to dental implants, preventing slippage and improving overall function. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures provide superior stability, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth, implant-supported bridges are securely anchored to dental implants, providing a natural-looking and functional tooth replacement option. These bridges are designed to span the gap created by missing teeth, restoring your ability to chew and speak properly while maintaining the integrity of your bite.
