Dental implants, also known as teeth implants or teeth transplants, are natural-looking alternatives to teeth that restore function, form, and aesthetics in people with missing teeth. A dental implant 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. It is a titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line, where it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Dental implants provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They are a popular and effective long-term solution for people who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons.
