A dental implant is a titanium screw-like device that is used to replace the root part of a missing tooth. The implant is first fitted in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and allowed to bond with the bone in the jaw. The replacement teeth function like natural teeth.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or many missing teeth. Dental implants have been used over the years, and it has proven to be a good restorative dental prosthesis.
