Dental implant surgery can be a helpful choice when dentures or bridgework fit poorly., A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that’s surgically embedded into your jawbone. Most modern implants are screws or cylinders made of titanium, which is biocompatible, lightweight, and super-strong. The implant bonds with the bone, becoming the foundation for a new, custom-made tooth replacement called a dental crown., Dental implants have been designed to artificially replace a natural tooth root and are inserted into the jawbone to support a restorative or replacement crown, bridge or denture.
