Dental Implant on the Insertion

Xavier Fin

A dental implant is a tiny titanium post (screw) that is inserted into the jawbone below the gum line during surgery. This post will integrate with your jawbone to form a solid base for your dental repair. The root of your lost tooth is replaced by a dental implant post. It not only fuses with your bone like a root but also promotes and protects the structure of your bone. A restoration is affixed to the top of a dental implant post. Usually, one tooth is replaced with a single crown. But in addition to supporting a bridge to replace many lost teeth, dental implants can also hold dentures in place.
