A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that’s used to replace the natural root of a missing tooth. Implants are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates with the bone and tissue in your jaw. It is surgically placed in the jaw and allowed time to heal.
The implant is intended to form a stable foundation for the dental restoration to which it is attached. The restoration is the visible part of the tooth and 
may be a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on your needs.
Tooth Replacement Solution
Replacing teeth with dental implants is not just an aesthetic procedure. Yes, you will end up with a natural-looking replacement tooth. But implants also offer other oral health benefits. Without a natural root to promote healthy growth, bone in the jaw starts to deteriorate. The absence of a root also allows adjacent teeth to start to move and fill the empty space. This can lead to crowding and other problems.
Adding a dental implant fills the empty space, allowing the process of bone regeneration to continue while it also prevents movement of surrounding teeth.
