two types:

for patients who have strong jawbone.

Types of Dental Implants
Depending upon the number of teeth to be operated, there are 
three types:
 Single tooth: It is used when a single tooth needs to be replaced. It may also 
include grafting to support the implant.
 All-on-4: all the teeth are removed, and dentures are supported by 4 
strategically positioned implants. When a patient has a strong jawbone and all 
the teeth need to be replaced, all-on-4 dental implants are preferred. 
 All-on-6: when the overlay dentures need more support, they are fixed on 6 
dental implants.
