Back then, items like bamboo pegs, seashells, and animal teeth were used to replace missing teeth. Thanks to modern technology and advancements in dentistry, patients today can opt for dental implants that are as durable as they are natural-looking. In fact, there are two types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springhettidentistry.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> dentists can use to restore a patient&#8217;s smile, bite, and speech. Read on for information on the differences between the two and who is the best candidate for each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the\nTwo Types of Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Endosteal <\/strong>\u2013\nThis is the most common type of dental implant and is used to support bridges\nor removable dentures. They are surgically placed into the jawbone with screws,\nblades, or cylinders for a sturdy restorative dentistry solution. This approach\nis most effective for patients who have excellent bone density, so the implant does\nnot shift or need to be replaced. <\/li><li><strong>Subperiosteal <\/strong>\u2013\nThis type of dental implant is placed on the bone, not in the bone. While it is\nnot as common as its endosteal counterpart, they are effective for patients who\nare unable to wear traditional dentures. By placing the implant on top of the\njaw with posts, the dental prosthesis can effectively be held in place. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which\nPatients Are Candidates for Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are a leading restorative option for\npatients who have lost teeth or are undergoing an extraction. In fact, dental\nimplant procedures increased by over 6% between 2019 and 2020 alone! Therefore,\nif you are missing a tooth, are not able to chew properly, or have impaired\nspeech because of a gap in your teeth, then it is time to talk to your dentist\nabout dental implants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Dental\nImplants Safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With any medical procedure, there are risk factors\ninvolved. However, dental implants currently hold over a 90% success rate!\nPlus, there are preventive tactics (like proper oral care and quitting bad\ndental habits) that can prevent the likelihood of them failing, becoming infected,\nor moving from the implant site. In fact, that is one of the reasons thousands\nof patients choose dental implants each year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a\nmissing tooth that is negatively impacting your self-esteem, bite, speech, and\noverall quality of life, then it is time to consider dental implants. With both\nendosteal and subperiosteal options available, everyone can achieve the full,\nstrong smile they deserve in just a few visits! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the\nAuthor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to earning his undergraduate degree from\nWabash College, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springhettidentistry.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\">Dr. Aaron\nSpringhetti<\/a> received his dental doctorate from the University of\nLouisville School of Dentistry.
