Dental implants have become a reliable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. In India, patients have access to various types of implants, each designed to meet different dental needs and preferences. Clinics like The Dental Roots provide expert guidance to help patients choose the most suitable implant type based on oral health, bone structure, and cosmetic goals.

1. Endosteal Implants

Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implant in India. These are surgically placed directly into the jawbone and serve as a root for the replacement tooth. They can be shaped like screws, cylinders, or blades. Endosteal implants are suitable for patients with healthy jawbones and provide strong support for single tooth crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations.

2. Subperiosteal Implants

Subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum but above the jawbone. These are generally used for patients who do not have sufficient bone height for traditional endosteal implants and are not ideal candidates for bone grafting. Subperiosteal implants consist of a metal frame that holds the prosthetic teeth in place.

3. Zygomatic Implants

Zygomatic implants are longer implants that anchor into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) instead of the jawbone. These are suitable for patients with significant jawbone loss, providing a stable foundation without the need for extensive bone grafting. Zygomatic implants are a less common but effective solution for complex cases.

4. Mini Dental Implants

Mini implants are smaller in diameter than standard implants and are often used for stabilizing dentures or when space is limited. They are less invasive, require shorter healing times, and can be a cost-effective option for patients who cannot undergo traditional implant procedures.

5. Immediate Load Implants

Immediate load implants, also known as same-day implants, allow for the placement of a temporary crown immediately after implant surgery. These are suitable for patients with sufficient bone density and good oral health, offering the advantage of faster restoration and reduced treatment time.

Conclusion

India offers a wide range of dental implant options to suit different oral conditions and cosmetic needs. Clinics like The Dental Roots provide professional consultations to determine the most appropriate implant type for each patient, ensuring safe, effective, and long-lasting results.
