Dental implants have become an important part of contemporary dentistry. Dentures are no longer the only tooth replacement option, with dental implants offering a permanent tooth restoration that is natural in appearance and comfortable for patients.
A dental implant is an artificial root made of surgical grade titanium metal. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth. An artificial replacement tooth is then attached to the implant, and the implant acts as an anchor to hold the replacement tooth in place.
