Dental implants come in various types to suit individual needs. Endosteal implants, the most common type, are placed directly into the jawbone. Subperiosteal implants rest on the bone and are suitable for patients with minimal bone height. For those seeking economical options, mini implants provide stability for dentures. Understanding these types helps patients make informed decisions for successful tooth replacement.
