What is a dental implant?

 

An implant is used when replacing missing teeth.

A dental implant is a small, strong metal replacement tooth root that is placed in your jawbone by a dentist.

When you get a dental implant, it will act as an artificial root and provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth, which your dentist will refer to as a crown.
