How It Works

A dental implant is a durable titanium screw that provides a stable foundation for replacing one or multiple missing teeth. It is made up of three primary parts:
  • The Implant Process: The first step involves placing the implant post into your jawbone, providing a stable foundation similar to a natural tooth root.
  • Abutment: This piece connects the implant post to the visible portion of your tooth, playing a crucial role in the overall structure.
  • Crown: The crown is the visible part of the implant that resembles and functions like a natural tooth. In certain situations, multiple implants can support an implant bridge to replace multiple missing teeth.
