Implants

What are Dental Implants?


Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post (implant body) that is surgically placed into the jawbone, an abutment that connects the implant to the crown, and the crown itself, which mimics the appearance of a natural tooth.
