  • Dental Implants 101

  • A dental implant is a synthetic tooth root that can replace a missing tooth. A natural tooth has a cone-shaped base that attaches to the jaw bone beneath your gums and dental implants mimic this configuration. A dental implant is made from titanium which provides stability for dental restorations, which become the replacement teeth that people see. The end of the implant, an abutment, sticks out above the gums and acts as a foundation for a patient's customized dental restoration.
