Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They serve as a foundation for artificial replacement teeth, called crowns. Dental implants in Turkey are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile.
There are several types of dental implants, and the choice of implant type depends on the individual patient’s needs and the condition of their jawbone. Here are the main types of dental implants:

Endosteal Implants
Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implant. They are surgically placed directly into the jawbone and are the most stable and durable option. Endosteal implants can be used to support single crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Subperiosteal Implants
Subperiosteal implants are placed on top of the jawbone, just under the gum tissue. This type of implant is used for patients who have insufficient jawbone height or density to support an endosteal implant. Subperiosteal implants are less common but may be a good option for some patients.
Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are a specialized type of dental implant that are placed in the zygoma (cheekbone) rather than the jawbone. These implants are used for patients who have significant bone loss in the upper jaw and are not candidates for traditional endosteal implants.
Unsure which implant type matches your jawbone condition? Deciding between a standard bone implant and a specialized cheekbone procedure depends entirely on your bone density and height.

Mini Implants
Mini implants, also known as narrow diameter implants, are smaller than traditional endosteal implants. They are a good option for patients with limited bone volume or tight spaces between teeth. Mini implants can be used to support single crowns, bridges, and even dentures.
Immediate Load Implants
Immediate load implants, also called “same-day” implants, are a type of endosteal implant that can be fitted with a temporary crown on the same day as the implant placement surgery. This allows the patient to have a functional tooth immediately, rather than waiting several months for the implant to integrate with the bone.
The choice of dental implant type will depend on the individual patient’s needs, the condition of their jawbone, and the preferences of the dental professional. It’s important to consult with a qualified implant dentist to determine the best option for your specific situation.
