Dental implants replace missing teeth and are an alternative to dentures or bridges.

Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone and serve as the roots of missing teeth. Because the titanium in the implants fuses with your jawbone, the implants won’t slip, make noise, or cause bone damage. And because the materials cannot decay like natural teeth, they won’t need as much maintenance as some other options for replacing missing teeth.
