What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a strong externally and internally threaded titanium post. Titanium is used to fabricate dental implants because it is uniquely compatible with jawbone. After placement of a dental implant, jawbone materials bond to the titanium, securing the two together. Once the dental implant has sufficiently bonded to the jawbone, the dental implant can be used to support dental devices which look and feel natural and may last a lifetime with proper care.
