Dental implants are the closest artificial replacement for natural tooth roots. They are made of metal titanium and have a screw shape with specially treated surface to allow for placement into the jaw bone for stability at the time of surgery. As time goes by over the next few weeks and months the jaw bone forms an strong bond with the dental implant securing the implant in place, called osseointegration. Osseointegration is the bond for all dental implant surgery providing a stable and long-lasting foundation for the restoration of missing teeth in a variety of ways.
