What Exactly are Dental Implants?

Dental implants act as replacement tooth roots that are surgically set into your jawbone. They offer a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, which are designed to appear exactly like your natural teeth. The dental implant is surgically set into your jawbone. Once the gum tissue surrounding the implant has healed fully, another surgery will be performed to join an abutment, a metal post, to the implant. A synthetic tooth is then fastened to the post or joined together on a denture or bridge.
