In the 1960s scientists discovered that bone loves titanium and will grow into and around titanium. The body’s immune system does not reject titanium. This started the dental implant revolution because it was now possible for natural bone to support artificial teeth.
Dental Implant

- Abutment – The abutment serves as the foundation for the crown and is screwed into the implant.
- Crown – The cosmetic porcelain crown is cemented over the abutment to create a tooth that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.
