The dental implants that we use today resemble a screw and usually consist of titanium. Titanium is a bio-compatible metal with the ability to fuse directly to bone: This unique fusion process is referred to as osseointegration. At Lamas Dental Specialists in Miami, we use implants to replace one tooth, several teeth, or all the teeth missing on an upper and/or lower jaw. In addition, we can use implants to support a fixed or a removable denture.
