A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed in the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, trauma, or some other reason.
TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS at Gorbatov Dentistry
A dental implant is a sophisticated solution for tooth replacement, serving as an artificial root that securely holds a prosthetic tooth or bridge. Suitable for individuals who have lost teeth due to periodontal disease, injury, or other causes, dental implants are a key part of modern cosmetic dentistry and dental implantology, a field in which Dr. Dmitry Gorbatov possesses over 30 years of experience.
- Endosteal (in the bone): As the most prevalent type of implant, endosteal implants include screws, cylinders, or blades surgically anchored into the jawbone. Each implant supports one or multiple prosthetic teeth, making them a prime alternative for those with bridges or removable dentures.
- Subperiosteal (on the bone): These implants, placed on top of the jaw, feature metal posts that extend through the gum to support the prosthesis. Subperiosteal implants are favored for patients who cannot wear traditional dentures or have minimal bone height.
