Dental implants are a fixed solution to replacing missing teeth that will look and feel like your natural teeth. An implant is an artificial tooth that is placed on, most commonly, a titanium root that looks a bit like a screw. The replacement root is surgically inserted into the upper or lower jaw bone and then an artificial tooth is attached to the top of the implant to fill the gap of the missing tooth. The implant and artificial tooth look and function like your natural teeth and will provide an extra boost of confidence in your smile.
