What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is the only tooth replacement that replicates your entire tooth structure, from the crown to the root. Because of this unique design, a dental implant allows you to eat, smile, and talk as if you have 100% natural teeth.
Dental implants are the best tooth replacements whether you have lost your teeth to injury, decay, or disease. But how does a dental implant replace teeth? A tooth implant comprises three main parts.
- The first part is a titanium fixture surgically placed in the jawbone to act as a tooth root.
- The second part is an abutment that protrudes above the gum line to connect the implant with the dental prosthesis.
- The final component is a dental crown, bridge, or denture, depending on the number of teeth lost.

Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
