What is a tooth implant?

Tooth implants, also known as dental implants, are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They provide a strong and durable foundation for fixed or removable teeth that are designed to match your natural teeth. Dental implants are commonly used to restore function and appearance after tooth loss due to injury, decay, or disease. The procedure typically involves several steps, including an initial consultation, surgical placement, healing time, and the attachment of a custom-made crown.
