Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jaw to restore a person's ability to chew or their appearance. They provide support for artificial (fake) teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
A dental implant is a prosthetic device used to replace missing teeth. It consists of a titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone, serving as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a connector called an abutment is attached to the post, onto which a dental crown or bridge is placed to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth or teeth. Dental implants provide a stable and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement and can improve chewing ability, speech, and overall oral health.
