Type of Dental Implants

1. Single Tooth Implant

Best for: Replacing one missing tooth

A titanium implant is placed in the jawbone, acting as a root, and topped with a natural-looking dental crown. This is a permanent solution that doesn’t rely on surrounding teeth.

✅ Natural look and feel

✅ Prevents bone loss

✅ Long-lasting and easy to maintain

2. Implant-Supported Bridge

Best for: Replacing several missing teeth in a row

Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, two or more implants can support a custom-made bridge. This option is more stable and longer-lasting than traditional bridges.

✅ Fewer implants needed

✅ Strong, fixed solution

✅ Great for multiple adjacent missing teeth

3. Full Arch Implants (All-on-4 / All-on-6)

Best for: Patients with no teeth or failing dentures

Also known as the A4 Complete Implant Solution, this method uses four to six implants to support a full arch of teeth. You’ll walk out with a new smile in just 3–5 days.

✅ Immediate function

✅ No need for bone grafting (in most cases)

✅ Secure, natural-looking smile

✅ Cost-effective compared to individual implants

4. Zygomatic Implants
‍

Best for: Patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw

These longer implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the jawbone. Ideal when traditional implants aren’t an option due to lack of bone.

✅ No bone grafting needed

✅ Fast recovery

✅ Advanced option for complex cases

5. Mini Dental Implants

Best for: Patients with low bone volume or tight spaces

Mini implants are smaller in diameter and can be used to stabilize dentures or replace small teeth like incisors.

✅ Less invasive

✅ Shorter healing time

✅ Often lower cost
