What is a Dental Implant?

The dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an replacement for the root portion of your missing tooth. Implants can be placed in either lower or upper jaws, and are made from biocompatible metal capable of fusing with bone tissue over time in a process called osseointegration.

While they do vary, dental implants are typically composed of three main elements:

• Titanium post: The dental implant post is the first part of the implant placed into your mouth. It requires a minor surgical procedures to place. Your dentist or oral surgeon will make an incision in the gum line. Next, the jaw bone is prepared with a special dental drill. The post is then inserted into the prepared area, and the gums are sutured around it.
• Dental crown: Our crowns arowns are made of long-lasting porcelain that is not only incredibly durable and lifelike. The crown is shaped and colored to blend in with your natural smile for a seamless restoration.
• Abutment: The abutment is the connective device that attaches the implant post to the replacement tooth. Once the abutment is secured to the top of the post, your dentist will place the crown.
