Types of Dental Implants
At Sleep Dentistry Melbourne, three types of dental implants are used to cater to different patient needs: single implants, All On 4 Plus® implants, and zygomatic implants. Single implants are ideal for replacing individual missing teeth, involving the placement of a titanium post in the jawbone, which is then topped with a custom crown to restore both function and appearance.
All On 4 Plus® dental implants are used for patients with multiple missing teeth or complete tooth loss, providing a full-arch restoration with just four strategically placed implants. This method offers a secure and cost-effective alternative to traditional dentures, giving patients a fixed and natural-looking solution.
Zygomatic implants are used for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, where traditional implants may not be possible. Instead of anchoring in the jawbone, these implants are placed in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), providing a strong foundation for dental restorations.
Sleep dentistry is used for all these types of implants to ensure patients are completely comfortable and stress-free during the procedure, especially when multiple implants or more complex surgical techniques are required.
