Root-Form Titanium Dental Implant: The Most Common Form

The most common type of dental implant is the Root-Form Titanium implant; also known as an endosseous or endosteal implant (a name that stems from the fact that these tooth implants are placed directly in the bone). Root-form implants are made of titanium and are very similar in appearance to screws, nails, or cones.

Sub-Periosteal Dental Implant: For Those Suffering From Bone Loss

Patients who have suffered great amounts of bone loss are likely to benefit the most from the Sub-Periosteal Dental Implant. This is for patients who do not have enough bone in the jaw to withstand the Root-Form Titanium Dental Implant. These types of Dental Implants are placed over the jaw, rather than in it.

Plate-Form Dental Implant

Plate-Form Dental Implants are a rectangle piece of metal with either one or two metal prongs on the side. They are placed vertically in the jaw so the prongs stick up into the mouth where the final Artificial Tooth will later be placed.

Ramus-Frame Dental Implant: For Patients with a Thin Lower Jawbone

Patients with a thin lower-jawbone will likely benefit the most from the Ramus-Frame Dental Implant. These are placed in the jaw at the back of the mouth and then full or partial dentures are made to fit on a thin metal bar that is visible above the gum tissue once everything heals.

Transosseous Implant: The Rarest Form of Dental Implant Therapy

Transosseous Implant was designed originally for people who were devoid of bottom teeth and whose lower jaws had little bone. They are not used extensively these days as placing transosseous implants require, extensive surgery and hospitalization. Also, this type of implant cannot be used in upper implant.

Inserting transosseous implants entails placing two metal rods from the lower part of the chin, via the chin bone, until exposed into the mouth. Now, the exposed rods are used for the sake of attaching a denture.
