Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable teeth that are designed to blend in with natural teeth. The process typically involves several steps, including the initial placement of the implant, a healing period for the bone to integrate with the implant, and finally, the attachment of a crown or prosthetic tooth. Dental implants are a popular option for individuals who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or other reasons.
