A dental implant is a medical device that's surgically placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium, a metal that's
compatible with the human body. They act as anchors for artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
How do dental implants work?
- The implant can support physical loads for decades

- People who have lost one or more teeth due to injurt, peridontal disease, or other reasons
- People who don't want to wear dentures
- People who want to improve their speech
- People who want to restore the apperance of their teeth
