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, or facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. A
dental implant Medisave is typically made of titanium and is surgically inserted into the jawbone. The bone will then grow around the implant, anchoring it securely in the jaw. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a post, also known as an abutment, is attached to the implant. The artificial tooth, or teeth, is then attached to the post. Dental implants are considered a long-term solution for missing teeth and can last many years with proper care and maintenance.
