A radiant smile can effortlessly win hearts, making dental implants an essential choice when a tooth or teeth are lost. Although there are various tooth replacement options, dental implants are preferred by many due to their effectiveness. In fact, dentists often recommend implants because they are long-lasting and help achieve a perfect smile.
Dental implants offer transformative solutions that go beyond mere aesthetics.
Let’s find out how these innovative implants revolutionize oral health, providing lasting solutions for radiant smiles and renewed confidence.
Endosteal implants are the most prevalent and widely utilized type of dental implant. Surgically inserted directly into the jawbone, they offer a robust foundation for artificial teeth. Usually composed of titanium, this type of dental implant bonds with the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration.
Subperiosteal implants are different from endosteal implants in their placement. Unlike endosteal implants, which are inserted into the jawbone, subperiosteal implants sit on or above the jawbone, under the gum tissue. A metal framework is placed on the jawbone, with posts extending through the gums to support the artificial teeth.
Zygomatic implants are a type of dental implant used to address cases of severe jawbone loss. Unlike traditional implants, which are placed directly into the jawbone, zygomatic implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which is denser and less likely to have experienced significant resorption.
Endosteal Implants: Require sufficient jawbone density to support the implant.
Subperiosteal Implants: Suitable for patients with insufficient jawbone density, as they rest on or above the jawbone.
Zygomatic Implants: Ideal for cases of severe bone loss where other implants are not feasible, as they anchor into the zygomatic (cheek) bone.
Healthy gums are essential for all types of dental implants to ensure proper healing and integration.
Adequate bone health is crucial for endosteal and subperiosteal implants, while zygomatic implants may be an option when bone health is compromised.
Conditions like diabetes or autoimmune diseases can impact healing and implant success.
Endosteal Implants: Involves a two-stage process with osseointegration and a longer recovery period.
Subperiosteal Implants: Generally involve a less invasive procedure but may still require healing time.
Zygomatic Implants: May involve a more complex procedure but can offer quicker restoration in some cases.
Zygomatic implants can be more expensive due to their complexity, while subperiosteal and endosteal implants may have varying costs.
The various types of dental implants have revolutionized tooth restoration by providing tailored solutions for a wide range of needs.
Whether you choose the reliable stability of endosteal implants, the adaptability of subperiosteal implants, or the innovative approach of zygomatic implants, the aim is consistent: to restore your smile, enhance your confidence, and improve your quality of life.
Consult with your dental professional to identify the best implant option for your specific oral health needs.

Fixed, not removable
Costs an average of around $2,500+ depending on the type of material chosen and the number of teeth required- another factor is the type of bridge
Requires 2 or more appointments over the course of a few weeks
Usually requires replacement after about 10 to 15 years, may last about 10 with proper care and maintenance
Fixed, not removable
Costs $5,000+ for a single implant and up to $60,000+ for full-mouth restoration. Hybrid options cost an average of $12,000 per arch
Requires multiple appointments over several months to a year or more
Implant screw should last a lifetime but the restoration may need to be replaced after about 20 years
Endosteal implants are ideal for those with healthy bone structures, subperiosteal implants work for those with bone loss, and zygomatic implants are suitable for severe bone loss. A dental professional can help determine which is the best option based on your unique situation.
Zygomatic implants offer significant advantages for patients with severe jawbone loss, as they avoid the need for bone grafting by anchoring into the zygomatic bone. They can also often support a fixed prosthesis immediately after placement.
