A
dental implant is a prosthetic replacement for a missing tooth.
Natural teeth consist of the crown and the root. The crown is the
visible section that is covered with white enamel. Supporting the
crown is the tooth root which extends into the jawbone. The root is
the part of the tooth that is effectively replaced by an implant.

In
the first step, the dental implant dentist surgically places the implant in the jaw,
then a healing process of anywhere from three to six months takes
place for it to anchor and heal. Once the implant has anchored with
the jawbone the dentist can then attach an extension, but first must
uncover the implant under the healed gum tissue. After this has been
completed the extension, called a post, is attached to the implant.
In some cases, the post may be attached during the initial procedure.
When the post is in place, your dentist then will make a crown, which
has a size, shape, color and fit that will blend with your other
teeth. When the crown is completed it is attached to the implant
post.
Tooth implants along with artificial teeth are often a good
option to fill the gaps left by tooth loss. Many people find that
dental implants are more comfortable, efficient and secure than are
dentures or bridgework.
