What is a dental implant?

Implant is a tiny post placed into your jaw to support a replacement tooth. Over time, dental implant fuses with your jaw bone and provides a strong base for placing an artificial tooth.

Once the implant is stable it is topped up with an artificial tooth that looks and feels like your natural tooth.
