What is an Endosteal Implant?

If you the general public refers to a "Dental Implant," they are almost always talking about an Endosteal Implant. "Endo" means "in" and "osteal" means "bone." Thus, these are implants that are surgically anchored directly into the jawbone.

They are the most successful, most researched, and most Biocompatible method for replacing missing teeth today.

Why Endosteal Implants are the Industry Standard

Endosteal implants typically take the form of a small, screw-shaped cylinder. Once placed, they undergo Osseointegration, where your natural bone cells grow into the microscopic pores of the titanium surface.

Key Benefits:

• Maximum Stability: Once fused, they are as strong—or stronger—than natural tooth roots.
• Prevents Bone Loss: By stimulating the jawbone during chewing, they prevent the "sunken face" look associated with Traditional Dentures.
• Versatility: Can support a Single Crown, a multi-tooth Bridge, or an entire All-on-4 arch.

The Installation Process

1. Diagnostic Stage: We use 3D CBCT scans to ensure you have adequate Bone Foundation.
2. Surgical Placement: The fixture is placed into the bone under local anesthesia or sedation.
3. Healing Phase: A 3-6 month period allows for full fusion. During this time, you follow our Soft Food Protocol.
4. Final Restoration: The Custom Zirconia Crown is attached to the fixture via an Abutment.

Who Can Get Endosteal Implants?

The primary requirement for an endosteal implant is sufficient bone depth and width. If your bone has atrophied, we may recommend:

• Sinus Lift
• Bone Augmentation
• Zygomatic Implants (if bone is extremely thin).

Clinical Note: Endosteal implants have a reported success rate of 98.4% at ToothCareUSA when coupled with strict Aftercare Maintenance.
