Today’s dental implants are typically made of titanium and may be
parallel-sided or tapered and may or may not have threads. These
fixtures are placed into the jawbone and allowed to heal until they are
“integrated” into the bone. Dental implants may be used to replace one,
many or all of a patient’s teeth.

All-on-4 dental implant technique

All-on-4 is a specific dental implant technique that uses only four
implants to secure all teeth in place. Hence, the name All-on-4.

Traditionally, treatments require patients to receive a total of six or
more implants, with treatment extending throughout 18 months of
treatment. Patients had to live with poorly fitted, temporary denture for a
long period of time. All-on-4 procedure shortens the treatment time
frame significantly.

A dental implants is an artificial tooth root that a periodontist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.
We can help you to make dental implants work for you.

Types of Dental Implants in Use

Endosteal dental implants (in the bone):
This is the most commonly used type of implant. The various types include screws, cylinders or blades surgically placed into the jawbone. Each implant holds one or more prosthetic teeth. This type of implant is generally used as an alternative for patients with bridges or removable dentures.

Subperiosteal dental implants(on the bone):
These are placed on top of the jaw with the metal framework’s posts protruding through the gum to hold the prosthesis. These types of implants are used for patients who are unable to wear conventional dentures and who have minimal bone height.
