When you want to get your bad teeth replaced, dental implants are usually the way to go. But how much do you really know about modern day implant procedures? Here is a basic description of three of the most well-known and practical procedures that Parker dental professionals currently recommend:
- Subperiosteal
Implants are designed to the exterior part of the bone. Although they are
considered less durable compared to endosteal implants, these dental
implants are frequently used when the bone doesn’t support endosteal
procedures and the implant has to be placed on or above the bone in order
for it to remain in place securely.
- Endosteal
implants are probably the most commonly used and recommended types of
implants that you will encounter. General dentistry professionals and
Parker dental implants specialists alike will point out the fact that these implants are
attached to the interior of the bone, rather than onto it. So they are
more secure and resilient. They often use screws, cylinders or blades to
help with bridges or removable dentures. A titanium screw is typically
attached to the jaw bone in order to support the replacement tooth.
- All-on-4
dental implants are among the most convenient procedures when it comes to
effective tooth replacement. Adults who need multiple replacements but
also want to avoid dentures will typically opt for this procedure. It
requires only minimal surgery and a set of 4 small titanium screws which
will support the crowns of the replacement teeth and ensure overall stability.
