By 24 December 2025February 4th, 2026No Comments

In this article, we will explore each type of dental implant by their structure and restorative solution as well. Dental implants replace missing teeth using a secure, long-term approach. This blog explains the main types of dental implants available at Belmont Dental Surgery. You will learn how each option works, where each option fits best, and how materials differ.

Types of Dental Implants by Placement and Structure

Endosteal Implants (The Most Common Choice)

This is the most popular type of dental implant Perth patients receive. It uses a small titanium screw that acts like a tooth root, placed directly into the jawbone. It is perfect for patients with healthy bone density and has a success rate of around 95%. With good care, these can last over 20 years.

Subperiosteal Implants (For Limited Bone)

Subperiosteal implants option is best for patients whose natural jawbone height is limited. Subperiosteal implants use a metal frame placed under your gums and on top of your jawbone. The implant does not go into the bone. Its is less common than endosteal implants. Subperiosteal implants provide an efficient foundation for crowns or artificial teeth and help individuals who couldn’t wear traditional dentures.

Zygomatic implants (For the Upper Jaw)

These are specialized implants for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw. Instead of the jawbone, they anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma) to provide a stable foundation without the need for complex bone grafting.

Mini Dental Implants MDIs

  • Mini dental implants are smaller in size compared to traditional teeth implants
  • Our dentist use this kind of dental implant for denture stabilisation.
  • Mini dental implants can be used for patients who do not have adequate bone structure to support a standard size of tooth implant
