Dental implants stand as an unparalleled solution for edentulism, offering a transformative remedy that goes beyond traditional tooth replacement options. Unlike removable dentures or fixed bridges, dental implants provide a permanent and natural-looking solution.

By surgically embedding titanium posts into the jawbone, dental implants mimic the structure of natural teeth, ensuring a stable foundation for replacement teeth. This not only restores the functionality of natural teeth but also prevents the bone deterioration that often accompanies tooth loss.

Additionally, dental implants offer a more comfortable and secure alternative, eliminating the inconvenience of removable prosthetics. Their ability to fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration ensures long-term stability and durability.

With the potential to last a lifetime, dental implants not only enhance oral health but also contribute to a renewed sense of confidence, allowing individuals with edentulism to enjoy a full and unrestricted life with a natural-looking, functional smile.

Types of Dental Implants

There are different dental implants NZ available in our clinic.

Zygomatic Implants

Definition

Zygomatic implants are long screws anchored in the cheekbone, designed for patients with insufficient bone in the upper jaw.

Indications

These implants are ideal for individuals with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures.

Placement in the Jaw

Zygomatic implants involve a specialized technique where the implant is anchored in the zygomatic bone, providing a stable foundation for tooth restoration.

Subperiosteal Implants

Definition

Subperiosteal implants are customized frameworks placed under the gum tissue but above the jawbone.

Indications

Suitable for patients with minimal bone height, subperiosteal implants offer a tailored solution to fit under the gum tissue.

Placement in the Jaw

The placement involves creating a mold that fits precisely on the jawbone, providing a stable platform for the prosthetic teeth.

Endosteal Implants

Definition

Endosteal implants are the most common type, directly inserted into the jawbone.

Indications

Versatile and suitable for most patients, endosteal implants are the standard choice for replacing missing teeth.

Placement in the Jaw

The placement involves surgically embedding the implant directly into the jawbone, providing a strong and durable foundation for tooth replacement.

Zygomatic Implants: Ideal for avoiding bone grafting, offering stability in the upper jaw.
