Types of Dental Implants

Leland C Wilhoite, D.D.S., P.C. uses a few different types of implants, depending on each individual patient and their unique dental situation. Below are a few of the most common types of implants that our team works with:

• Zygomatic Implants: Zygomatic implants are typically used when replacing teeth from the upper jaw. These can be single implants or larger ones to replace an entire row of upper teeth. 
• Mini Implants: Mini implants are just one piece rather than the three pieces of most other implants. Oftentimes, these implants are used in a narrow space or when the patient has lost some of their bone. Typically, mini implants are held onto a removable denture to help keep them in place.
• Remote-Anchored Implants: These implants use remote anchors to hold onto a larger denture that replaces many teeth.
• Pterygoid Implants: These implants are specifically placed in the area of the upper molars. These implants are helpful for patients missing all of their teeth on their upper jaw–they go where wisdom teeth used to be (once they’re removed.)
• All-On-Six Implants: These dental implants use six implants to hold onto a permanent denture that is anchored by those implants. These dentures will not slip or slide out of place and you will not need to remove them. These are a great option for patients who want convenience, confidence and great function.
