There are a couple of different types of implants that differ in how they are attached to your jawbone.
The two types are:
Endosteal implant. This is the most common type. It usually looks like a screw, cylinder, or blade that is implanted in your jawbone during surgery. Each of these implants can hold one or more prosthetic teeth. This is a good option for people who already have bridges or removable dentures.
Subperiosteal implant. This is placed on top of the jaw, with posts from a metal framework sticking out through your gum to hold your prosthetic teeth. This is a good option for people who can't wear removable dentures or don't have enough bone in their jaw to hold an endosteal implant.
