What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They serve as a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. Unlike dentures, implants provide a permanent solution, restoring both functionality and aesthetics.

Symtoms

If you’re experiencing tooth loss, you may notice several symptoms:

  • Gaps in your smile
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking
  • Shifting of adjacent teeth
  • Changes in facial structure, leading to a sunken appearance

Type of Dental Implants

Basal Dental Implants

Basal dental implants, also known as cortical implants, are placed in the basal (cortical) bone, which is the hard, dense bone that doesn’t resorb over time.

Advantages

  • Ideal for patients with severe bone loss, where conventional implants may not be possible.
  • Do not require bone grafting or sinus lifts, making them suitable for those with insufficient bone density.
  • Allows for immediate loading, meaning prosthetic teeth can often be attached within 72 hours.
  • Minimally invasive procedure with a shorter healing time.

Conventional Dental Implants

Conventional dental implants are the traditional type of implant, where titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone and require time to fuse (osseointegrate) with the bone before the prosthetic tooth can be attached.

Advantages

  • Strong and stable, offering a long-term solution that can last for decades.
  • Provides a natural-looking and fully functional tooth replacement.
  • Helps maintain jawbone health by stimulating bone growth.
  • Suitable for single or multiple tooth replacements.
