A dental implant is a replacement for the root(s) of a tooth.
Like tooth roots, dental implant are secured in the jawbone. They are used to secure crowns, bridgework or dentures by a variety of means. Titanium and titanium alloys are the most widely used metals.
Dental Implants provide a superior solution to replacing missing teeth because they provide luminous, natural-looking results. If you have lost one or more of your teeth due to injury, disease, or decay, you have a number of tooth replacement options, including dental implants.
