What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant doesn’t actually look like a tooth; it’s a metal post that closely resembles a screw. It’s designed to be inserted into the jawbone in the area where a tooth was lost so that it can bond with the surrounding bone. Once this process is complete, it can act as the foundation for a dental prosthetic. Implants are used to support crowns, bridges, and dentures, depending on how many teeth have been lost.
