Dental Implant
What is Dental Implant ?
A dental implant is a structure that replaces a missing tooth. It is a surgical procedure where the jawbone is allowed to fuse with the bone. A dental implant is needed for those who have lost at least one or more teeth and can even replace dentures with implants.
A device called an abutment connects the artificial tooth to the dental implants.
