Dental implants are one of the most advanced and effective solutions for those who have lost one or more teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, implants act as artificial roots, integrating into the bone and providing a solid foundation for crowns, bridges, or full dentures. This option not only restores functionality but also improves the aesthetics and confidence of patients.
There are different types of implants, depending on the specific needs of each patient. These include:
- Medium Load Implants: Allow for quicker recovery, supporting crowns in less time.
- Delayed Load Implants: Ideal when a healing period is needed before placing the crown.
- Narrow Diameter Implants: Perfect for cases where space is limited or there is little bone mass.
Subperiosteal Implants: Placed beneath the gums but on top of the bone, this is an option when there is insufficient bone. - Endosteal Implants: The most common, which integrate directly into the jawbone.
- Zygomatic Implants: Used in patients with significant bone loss, anchored in the zygomatic bone.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Durability: With proper care, they can last a lifetime.

Dental implants not only transform smiles but also the quality of life for patients. Consult with your specialist to find the best option for you and begin the journey towards a renewed and healthy smile
