Dental implant reconstruction
Dental implant reconstruction is rapidly becoming the preferred dental restoration procedure for patients with missing or damaged teeth. Dental implants offer many significant health benefits and help restore primary tooth functions such as chewing and biting. Dental implant reconstruction also greatly improves the appearance of an altered smile.
What are dental implants?
Dental implant reconstruction is the surgical procedure of inserting implants into the jawbone, which allows for the installation of a bridge or other dental restorations, enabling the patient to have the complete and healthy dentition that was lost due to injury, decay, or other dental diseases.
Dental implants are tiny titanium screws that are placed in the jawbone to support an abutment that holds a prosthetic crown. Dental implants are an effective and long-lasting restoration for a lost tooth. The bone grows around the implant, making it solid enough to replace what was once the tooth root. Because implants are made of titanium, they integrate well with the bone, prevent bone tissue loss, and are resistant to decay.
Dental implants have been in use for over 20 years, and recent innovations have made the procedure much more comfortable than before. Dental implant reconstruction is now minimally invasive and can be completed in several dental visits.

Questions & Answers
What should you know?
Dental implant reconstruction involves different processes, and you should be familiar with the various types.
Single-stage dental implants vs. two-stage dental implants
A single-stage dental implant procedure involves inserting the implant into the jawbone and closing the gum while exposing a part of the implant. Subsequently, it will take a few months for the implant to integrate with the jawbone, after which the crown, bridge, or another type of abutment can be placed without requiring another surgery.
A two-stage dental implant is similar to single-stage surgery, but in this case, the implant will be submerged in the jawbone and a second surgery will be necessary to expose the implant to correctly place the abutment.
Endosteal vs. subperiosteal implants
An endosteal implant involves inserting the implant into the jawbone. They are usually more solid than subperiosteal implants. They are typically used in two-stage implants because they must always go down into the gums and the jaw.
A subperiosteal implant involves placing the implant on the jawbone rather than inside it. This is often recommended for patients without sufficient bone depth and is associated with single-stage dental implant reconstruction.
Mini dental implant reconstruction
This is the second choice when endosteal or subperiosteal implants are not possible. Mini dental implant reconstruction is the least invasive procedure and can still help replace a lost tooth.
