What are dental implants?
A dental implant is simply an artificial substitute for a tooth root. The dental implant is made out of titanium and is inserted into the jawbone. There the jawbone will grow up to and fuse with the dental implant in a processes called osseointegration. Once the implant is fused to the jawbone Dr. Nugent can attach the pieces to the implant to complete the tooth.
