Unlocking Smiles: Affordable Dental Implants for Seniors
Types of Dental Implants
There are several types of dental implants available, each suited to different needs and conditions:
- Endosteal Implants: These are the most common type, involving the surgical placement of screws or cylinders into the jawbone. They serve as the foundation for artificial teeth.
- Subperiosteal Implants: These are placed under the gum but above the jawbone, suitable for patients with insufficient bone height or those unable to undergo bone augmentation procedures.
- Mini Implants: Smaller in size, these are often used to stabilize lower dentures and are less invasive, making them an attractive option for seniors.
