Dental implants, the large majority of them, are made of titanium. The dental implant procedure is a safe and proven effective replacement for your tooth’s root. It is placed in the jawbone with minor surgery, and is integrated with your natural bone. Thus, the dental implant will form the base for your replacement teeth, which will be as steady (or even more stable) than your natural root.

There are two types of dental implants available in dentistry offices worldwide:

Endosteal implants – which are placed in the jawbone, with a shape resembling small screws, cylinders or plates, making them the most commonly used type of implant.

The second type is Subperiosteal implants - placed under the gum but still on/ above, the jawbone. Dental implants experts use this type of implant in patients who have a shallow jawbone and are not eligible for the Endosteal implant.

You can choose among various sizes and heights such as standard dental implants and mini dental implants. When traveling abroad for the implant procedure, your implantology specialist will help you determine the option which is right for you, depending on the tooth or teeth that need to be replaced and the quality of your jawbone.
