A
dental implant is a
titanium metal replacement for a root of a tooth that is surgically
implanted in the jawbone. As the body heals for approximately two to six
months after the surgery, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant
through a process called osseointegration. After the healing phase is
complete, the implants are used to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental implants are the most natural replacement for a missing tooth.
