Types of Dental Implants

Single tooth implants:

As the name suggests, single-tooth implants replace a single missing tooth. This type of implant consists of a titanium screw placed in the jawbone and a porcelain crown attached to the top of the screw. Single-tooth implants are an excellent option for people who are missing just one tooth and want a permanent and natural-looking solution.

Multiple tooth implants:

If you are missing multiple teeth, you may be a candidate for various tooth implants. These implants are similar to single-tooth implants, but they are used to replace two or more missing teeth. Multiple tooth implants can replace teeth in a row or support a bridge, depending on your specific needs.

All-on-4 dental implants:

All-on-4 dental implants, also known as denture retained implants, are an excellent option for people who are missing all or most of their teeth. This type of implant involves placing four titanium screws in the jawbone and attaching an entire arch of porcelain teeth to the screws. All-on-4 dental implants provide a permanent and stable solution that allows you to confidently eat, speak, and smile.

Implant-supported dentures:

If you are missing all or most of your teeth and are not a candidate for All-on-4 dental implants, you may be a candidate for implant-supported dentures. This implant involves placing a few titanium screws in the jawbone and attaching a removable denture to the screws. Implant-supported dentures provide a more stable and secure fit than traditional dentures and can be a good option for people not ready for a complete set of All-on-4 dental implants.
