Dental implants provide a permanent tooth replacement option that not only looks like a natural tooth but also functions as one. Dental implants are essentially titanium screws which act as an artificial tooth root. They are placed permanently into the bone of the jaw.
A Dental implant can replace a single tooth, replace multiple teeth, retain a denture in place or lock a denture in place
