What Are Dental Implants And How Do They Work? Before having dental implant surgery done, perhaps one might want to know all there is to know about dental implants. Dental implants are typically made of titanium, and are a safe and reliable replacement technique which starts right at the root of the tooth. It is surgically placed at the root and designed to fuse with it, forming a foundation as strong as that which one would have with natural teeth.
[edit on Wikidata] A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor.
