How safe are jaw implants?

Gordon12
I was wandering how safe are jaw implants? Are they as safe as chin implants or as dangerous as breast implants? I tried searching and tried asking doctors but they think I'm referring to chin implants. Jaw implants aren't talked as much. Is there a reason for that. I need implants in my jaw because one side is weaker than the other, I just want to know if they are safe to put on, and will or may cause health problems when I'm older? Thank u so much doctors for taking time to answer this question.
