There are hundreds
of implant types available in the market place
today.
We have experience with Branemark,
SteriOss, Calcitek and Zimmer root form
implant systems. We also place custom plateform
and subperiosteal implants. The decision on which
type to use is dependent on the needs of the
individual.
Root form implants
come with different types of surface finishes.
They can be smooth machined titanium, acid etched
titanium, titanium plasma sprayed or hydroxy-apatite
coated. Their use is dependent on the needs of
the individual.
If there is
inadequate bone to place root form implants, and
the individual does not wish to undergo bone
grafting procedures a plate form implant (for
narrow bony ridges) or a subperiosteal implant
(for lack of adequate bone height) can be used.
