What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a revolutionary advancement in tooth replacement technology. Each dental implant typically involves three parts:
- Crown that replaces the visible part of the tooth
- Abutment that secures the crown
- Titanium post that replaces the tooth root
Since implants take the place of each part of a natural tooth, they are considered the most life-like solution for a missing tooth. Different types of dental implants can be utilized depending on the patient’s unique needs—from a single implant to an implant-supported bridge or full-arch implant denture. When the procedure is carefully planned and performed by an experienced implant dentist, you can expect beautiful results that function just like your natural teeth.
