At Atlanta Smiles, we offer two types of dental implants based on your specific treatment plan. In addition, we walk each patient through their options for tooth replacement to help you restore oral health and meet your cosmetic goals.
Endosteal Implants
Endosteal implants offer a more stable and longer-lasting solution. The procedure includes surgical placement of the implant into the jaw bone throughout two surgical procedures.
The first surgery places the implant and a second one attaches a post to the implant. We then place a crown. If multiple teeth are missing, two implants can anchor a bridge to restore the missing teeth.
Subperiosteal Implants
Subperiosteal implants are less invasive than endosteal implants. The procedure includes surgical placement of a metal frame on the jawbone beneath the gum line.
Once the gums heal, we fuse the frame to the jawbone. We then attached crowns to the exposed posts. Subperiosteal implants can also support bridges when replacing multiple teeth.
