Imagine you’ve lost a tooth, and you want to replace it with something that feels and works just like your natural teeth. That’s where dental implants come in.

Essentially, a dental implant is a way to permanently replace a missing tooth (or several teeth) by putting a strong, artificial root into your jawbone to hold a new, natural-looking tooth in place. It’s a very stable and long-lasting solution!

Good thing about implants is they give you more comfort and natural feel while chewing compared to FPDs

The implant is made of Titanium metal mostly.  
The metal is very sturdy and biocompatible.
