A dental implant is an artificial tooth, comprised of a titanium root (post) and crown, which is used as a replacement for a missing tooth/teeth. These implants are designed to look and feel as close to your natural teeth as possible and help to restore the mechanical function of your mouth. Around the world, millions of people have benefited from advancements in dental technology which allow this procedure to be done. Single tooth implants have a 95% success rate at 10 years post placement.
