What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth.

The implant is placed into the jawbone and later connected to a custom restoration. Depending on treatment needs, this may be a crown, bridge, or denture.

Dental implants are commonly used to replace one tooth, several teeth, or support full-arch restoration.
