Dental implants are prosthetic teeth designed to replace your missing teeth and provide a long-term solution for your smile and oral health. Implants may be used to replace one tooth, several teeth or an entire arch of teeth. Implants consist of two main parts, an implant post and an implant restoration.
The implant post is a small screw, made of titanium or another biocompatible material, which replaces the tooth root. After being surgically placed into the jawbone, the implant post integrates with your bone tissue to provide a stable foundation for your tooth.
