In short, dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the bone. The bone quickly grows around the implant attaching itself to the rough outer surface. Once the implant has been anchored by the bone, the implant is prepared to accept the natural looking prosthetic tooth/teeth.
Crowns, a bridge, or stabilized denture may be attached to the implant once in place. Since these must be carefully constructed to match the opposing tooth and ensure a correct bite, several impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a lab which will construct the prosthetics. Sometimes, more than one implant is required to replace the missing teeth.
