Which Type of Dental Implant is the Best?

Subtitle: What kind of car is the best?

Ah, the eternal question: Sedans, trucks, SUVs… each with its own unique charm and purpose. Sedans are sleek, fuel-efficient, and easy to park. Trucks haul everything from lumber to ATVs, but they guzzle gas and can be a bit unwieldy in tight spaces. SUVs offer a happy medium, with ample space for passengers and cargo, but sometimes they feel like they’re trying too hard to be everything to everyone.

The world of dental implants is much the same. You’ve got the ‘Branemark External’ – the first type of dental implant developed by Per-Ingvar Branemark in 1965. Think of it as the Ford Model T in 1908. Revolutionary in its time, but maybe a bit outdated now. Then came the ‘Tissue level’ by ITI (International Team of Implantology), the sturdy, innovative SUV, that requires a skilled driver (dentist) and is not always suitable for rough terrain (areas with poor bone quality).

And the ‘Bone level (internal)’ – the flashy sedan car. Sleek and versatile, easy to drive, but sometimes a bit too slender. Those thin, delicate tops? A bit prone to getting dinged up.

So, which is ‘best’? Like cars, it depends on your needs and preferences. Most dentists, like many drivers, stick to what they know. ‘Bone level (internal)’ is their go-to. It’s familiar and easy to place.

But for me? At Boston Finesse Dental Implant Center, I lean towards the ‘Tissue level’ by ITI. It’s like driving a finely tuned machine. It requires a bit more finesse, but their long-term results are truly exceptional. However, when I do need the ‘Bone level (internal) type’ I opt for the ‘Roxolid’ – the luxury model sedan. Because this ‘Rock Solid’ alloy material shows 40% higher strength than regular titanium. Stronger, more durable, built for the long haul.

Ultimately, the ‘best’ dental implant is the one that best suits your individual needs and circumstances. At Finesse Dentistry & Implant Center, we take the time to understand your unique situation, assess your bone quality, and discuss your goals. Just like choosing the right car, selecting the right implant type requires careful consideration. We’re here to guide you through the process, ensuring you receive the highest quality implant and achieve a healthy, confident smile that lasts for years to come.
