How Do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant is a thin titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone and acts as an artificial tooth root. Once in place, the post fuses with surrounding bone and tissue in a process called osseointegration. Implants are popular with dentists and patients because they more closely mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth than any other tooth replacement.
