A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The implant body usually is made of titanium and resembles a screw, which is placed into the bone under the gum. A dental implant is a long-term solution for people who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons. The implant fuses with the jawbone, creating a strong foundation for an artificial tooth, bridge, or denture. Implants are made of titanium and resemble screws, which are placed into the bone under the gum tissue.
