Dental implants are slowly replacing dentures used by some people, as they provide many advantages of traditional dentures. Because it is made of the same type of mineral found in natural bone, this type of implant bonds to the existing jaw bone. This type of implant is inserted into the jaw bone to serve as the tooth's root. Dental implants may either be inserted by a dentist specially training in implantology, or by an oral surgeon.
Implant placement is a minor sugical procedure that can usually be performed in the office.
