Implant-Supported Denture
For those missing several or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures provide a secure alternative to traditional dentures, enhancing comfort, function, and confidence without the need for adhesives.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Durability and Longevity
Implants are designed to last many years, often a lifetime, making them a cost-effective, long-term solution for tooth replacement.
Improved Oral Health
Dental implants do not require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.

Exploring Types of Dental Implants
Endosteal Implants
These are the most common type of implants, directly placed into the jawbone and serving as an artificial root to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
Single-Tooth Implant
Perfect for individuals missing a single tooth. These implants are inserted into the jawbone and topped with a crown, providing a solution that looks and feels natural.
Mini Dental Implant (MDI)
Mini dental implants are smaller and less invasive, ideal for stabilizing lower dentures and for patients with insufficient bone density.
Subperiosteal Implants
These implants sit on top of the jawbone but under the gum. They are used when the jawbone is not thick enough to support endosteal implants.
Zygomatic Implants
Less common and more complex, these are implanted in the cheekbone when there is insufficient bone in the jaw.
