What Are the 4 Types of Implants ?

There are four major categories of dental implant procedures: endosteal implants (implanted in the bone), subperiosteal implants (implanted in the bone), zygomatic implants (implanted in the cheekbone), and the All-on-4 implants (an implantation procedure that employs 4 implants in the lower jaw to form a partial arch). They belong to different types, and each concerns a range of bone conditions, tooth-loss patterns, and customer needs. Endosteal implants and zygomatic implants are the most common and safest; the most difficult procedure is reserved for severe bone loss cases.

Dr. Jaydev Matapathi renowned Smile design specialist in Hyderabad,

explains that there is no universality of the type of implant due to the health of your jawbone, the number of missing teeth and the goal of treatment.

Dental implants, of all kinds, have their own clinical uses based on the degree of tooth loss, bone levels, and patient preference.

Endosteal Implants (Most Common): Titanium screw-style posts may be directly inserted into the jawbone; the bone must be thick enough to support the implants. These can be attached to a single or a series of teeth and offer the longest lifespan and the most natural feel.

Subperiosteal Implants (Bone Alternative): The implant is placed over the top of the jawbone, under the gums, and is intended for patients with insufficient bone and therefore cannot be grafted. The procedure is shortened and simplified.

Zygomatic Implants (Complex Cases): Extended implants attached to the cheekbone as opposed to the jaw, are applied in advanced situations of upper jaw bone loss, do not need upper jaw bone grafting, offer instant stability despite bone loss, and avoid sinus issues.

All-on-4 Implant (Full Arch Solution): It is a full arch of replacement teeth held by four specially designed implants that do not usually require bone grafts, are immediately functional, provide instant tooth replacement, need fewer implants, and are inexpensive to replace a full arch.

Research shows that the success rate of endosteal implants is over 95 percent when placed in a healthy jawbone, provided the patient maintains proper care and follow-up. According to the American Academy of Dental Implants, all types of dental implants have a success rate of more than 96 percent when proper patient selection and surgical procedures are followed.

Surgeries involving dental implants at Jaydev Dental Clinic, are performed with modern CBCT imaging and digital planning to select the most suitable implants for each patient, based on their bone structure and restoration needs.

Based on the quality of the jawbones, location of the missing teeth as well as the end goal of the patient, the treatment planning process prescribes the use of endosteal, All-on-4 or any other form of implants. Each case is given a personalized operating guide and evidence-based guidelines to achieve predictable results.
