An artificial tooth root made of titanium*
A dental implant is a small screw made of the metal titanium, a material that is well-tolerated by and readily integrated into the jaw bone.
A long-term solution to replace missing teeth
In order to replace the function of the tooth root, the dental implant is inserted in the jaw bone during a procedure that can be performed under local anesthetic. It attaches painlessly to the bone and forms a solid anchor for the long-term attachment of the crown (prosthetic tooth).
A beautiful result
A final crown is eventually placed on the implant several weeks after the implant is inserted. In some cases, the crown can be placed immediately after the implant is placed in the jaw. Your dentist will determine the correct course for your unique case.
*Titanium:
Silver-white precious metal; titanium has proven to be
biocompatible. The body accepts it as if it were part of it. In dentistry it is used as
a basic material for implants because of its high strength and resistance.
