What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a cylindrical and/or tapered kindof a screw, usually made of titanium, that serves as a substitute for the tooth root. A connector, known as an abutment, is placed on, or built into, the top of the dental implant, to connect the implant to the replacement tooth or teeth. Finally, a crown is given to match your natural teeth, completing the dental implant.
