Dental implants provide an effective and long-lasting way to replace missing teeth and improve a person’s bite and tooth function. The people who make the best candidates for dental implants are in good overall health and have no major oral issues. They should not have significant decay or periodontal disease and they must have enough bone to support the implant. If you are interested in using dental implants, it’s time to get acquainted with the most common type, Endosteal implants.
Endosteal Implants
Endosteal, or in the bone, implants are the most popular style. These implants are made from surgical grade biocompatible titanium and are placed directly into the jawbone. The dental crown is placed on top of the endosteal implant. Every implant has the ability to serve as the foundation for at least one replacement tooth. With the proper care and regular visits to the dentist, endosteal implants can become a permanent solution for a patient who is missing one or more teeth.
