A Dental Implant is a solution suggested by doctors when medicinal treatment is not possible. This can be due to many reasons like bad oral hygiene, tooth decay, and gum problems For Dental Implants generally, a single or a small number of teeth along with their roots are replaced to stop other teeth from getting destroyed.

There are three types of Dental Implants:-

1. Endosteal Implants– In this kind of Dental Implant, a titanium piece is inserted into your jawbone that acts as a permanent foundation for the artificial tooth.
2. Subperiosteal Implants- This kind of dental implant is suggested by the doctor only in one of the two cases. Either the patient’s jawbone is not strong, dense enough to support the Endosteal implant. Or it does not have enough height to support the Endosteal implants.
3. Pterygoid Implants– This implant is recommended by the doctor when he is trying to limit the time taken in the whole surgery or limit grafting of the jaw bone. This implant is generally given to old people as they don’t have a strong jawbone.
