The main types of dental implants are described below: <\/p>\n<h3>Endosseous Implants<\/h3>\n<p>Endosseous implants are the most common and are placed directly into the jawbone. These implants are shaped like screws, cylinders or blades and are used for patients with sufficient bone density. Endosseous implants provide a solid base for artificial teeth and integrate well with the bone.  <\/p>\n<h3>Subperiosteal Implants<\/h3>\n<p>These implants are placed over the jawbone but under the gum tissue. They are used primarily in patients who do not have sufficient bone height and are unable or unwilling to undergo a bone grafting procedure. Subperiosteal implants consist of a metal frame that is attached to the jawbone and protrudes through the gums to support the artificial tooth.  <\/p>\n<h3>Zygomatic Implants<\/h3>\n<p>Zygomatic implants are an alternative for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. These implants are anchored in the zygomatic bone, a denser bone in the upper jaw. Because of their location, zygomatic implants provide a stable and durable solution when endosseous implants are not viable.  <\/p>\n<h3>Mini Implants<\/h3>\n<p>Mini implants are smaller implants used to stabilize removable dentures in patients who have significant bone loss. These implants are less invasive and can be placed in a single visit, providing a quick and effective option for improving denture stability. <\/p>\n<h4>Immediate Load Implants<\/h4>\n<p>Immediate load implants allow for the placement of a temporary crown. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.implantarex.com\/en\/blog-en\/price-of-the-types-of-dental-crowns-in-spain\/\"><u>temporary crown<\/u><\/a> the same day as the implant surgery. This is ideal for patients who want a quick solution and do not want to wait several months for the bone integration process to be completed. However, not all patients are candidates for this type of implant. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.implantarex.com\/en\/blog-en\/dental-screw-implants-types-problems-and-prices\/\"><u>type of

can vary, but generally you can expect the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Single dental implant:<\/strong> 1-2 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bone grafting (if necessary):<\/strong> +30-60 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Abutment placement:<\/strong> 30-60 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crown placement:<\/strong> 1 hour (in a separate appointment)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to consult with your dentist or oral surgeon for a more accurate time estimate based on your specific case.<\/p>\n<h2>What are non-surgical dental implants?<\/h2>\n<p>Non-surgical dental implants, also known as computer-guided implants, are a less invasive option for replacing missing teeth.  <\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional implants that require surgery to insert a metal post into the jawbone, non-surgical implants use minimally invasive techniques to place the implants into the gum tissue without the need for large incisions or stitches.<\/p>\n<h2>What is guided dental implant surgery?<\/h2>\n<p>Guided dental implant surgery involves the use of 3D imaging and planning software to design a precise surgical plan prior to surgery. This allows the surgeon to visualize the patient&#8217;s bone structure and determine the best location for dental implants. <\/p>\n<h3>Guided surgery process<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>Digital evaluation and planning:<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>3D imaging<\/strong>: X-rays and three-dimensional scans (such as CT scans) are taken of the patient&#8217;s jaw.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Virtual planning<\/strong>: Using specialized software, the surgeon plans the exact placement of the implants, taking into account the density and quality of the bone, as well as the position of important anatomical structures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>Creation of the surgical guide:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Customized guide<\/strong>: Based on digital planning, a customized surgical guide is fabricated to fit the patient&#8217;s mouth. This guide ensures that the implants are placed in the precise position and angle during surgery. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>Implant placement:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minimally invasive surgery<\/strong>: During the procedure, the surgical guide is placed in the patient&#8217;s mouth and used to insert the implants precisely, following the pre-established plan. This approach reduces surgical time and minimizes the invasiveness of the procedure. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What is a dental implant surgery kit?<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.implantarex.com\/en\/blog-en\/instruments-or-kit-for-dental-implant-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><u>dental implant surgery kit<\/u><\/b><\/a> is a set of tools specifically designed to perform the dental implant placement procedure.
