A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the position where the missing tooth used to be. Some months after placement, the implant is used as an anchor to support the replacement tooth. Implants are made from materials accepted by the tissues of the body. Present day implants, based on scientific evidence, have shown a very high success rate. Like natural teeth they will last as long as they are well looked after. |
