Dental implants allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth directly into a metal post or frame that has been surgically positioned in your jawbone.

Classifications of Dental Implant • Endostealimplants • Subperiosteal implants
Endosteal implants • these are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post-individually, or grouped on a bridge or denture.
Subperiosteal implants • these consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through the gums. As with endosteal implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.
Dental Tips • Practice good oral hygiene • Quit smoking • Visit your dentist • Avoid chewing on hard foods
Practice good oral hygiene • brush twice a day and floss once daily. Using interdental brushes, brushes that slide between teeth, can help clean the hard to reach areas around your implant.
Quit smoking • smoking can weaken the bone structure and can contribute to implant failure.
Visit your dentist • cleanings and exams every six months can help ensure your implant is in good condition, and that it stays that way.
Avoid chewing on hard foods • don’t chew on hard items such as ice and hard candy because they can break the crown and your natural teeth.
