Dental Implants — what are they?

A dental implant is a titanium fixture or appliance that replaces the natural tooth root.

Precisely positioned into the jawbone, the titanium implant bonds with the bon, a process known as osseointegration,  to create a stable platform – one that is far stronger than any  tooth root.

This platform then provides a permanent foundation, along with precisely positioned 3-5 further implatnts  as a support for an entire arch of Zirconia prosthetic teeth.
