There are three different types of dental implants that are offered most commonly at dental clinics: 1. Endosteal Implants This type is the most commonly done for dental implants, they are best suited for many patients who are getting dental implants; however, they do require the patients to have a healthy, strong jawbone to be able to post the fuse. This particular implant has placeholder posts that are placed into the jawbone like screws, then false teeth are fitted into the posts. 2. Subperiosteal Implants Subperiosteal implants are one of the main alternatives to endosteal implants. These implants rest on top of the jawbone instead of being fixed to it like endosteal implants. A metal frame is placed under the gum line, and a post is then attached to it. 3. Zygomatic Implants This particular implant is not seen as common as the other two but is still worthy of mention. This is also one of the more complicated procedures to have completed, it is only done if the patient does not have enough jawbone left to complete an endosteal implant. Zygomatic implants are placed in the cheekbone instead of the jawbone. Other techniques that are also available, but are not used as commonly as the first three include: ● Bone augmentation ●  Sinus lift ● Ridge Expansion ● Immediate load dental implants ● Mini dental implants ● All-on-4
