Implants? A dental implant is a small metal post,
usually made of titanium, that is placed in your
jawbone where the missing tooth was. This post
acts like the root of a tooth. After its in
place and heals, a crown (an artificial tooth)
is attached to the post, which looks and works
like a real tooth. Why Get Dental

  of implants
• Endosteal Implants These are the most common
  type. The implant is placed directly into the
  jawbone, and once it heals, the artificial tooth
  (crown) is attached.

  the gum but above the jawbone. This type is used
  if there isnt enough bone for a regular implant.

  X-rays to see if youre a good candidate for
  implants.

  implant in your jawbone during a small surgery.

  months) to fuse with your bone. This makes it
  strong and secure.

  top of the implant.
