Dental Implant
1. Natural tooth.
2. Dental implant
3. Tooth crown
Dental implants are the closest thing to your own natural tooth. A dental implant is a small part made of titanium or titanium zirconium. It is placed in the jaw bone and replaces the missing tooth root. The implant can be surgically inserted under local anesthetic on an outpatient basis.
Once healed, the artificial root acts as a base for fixing individual crowns and multi-tooth bridges. The implant can also be used as an anchor for an entire dental prosthesis.
