A dental implant is the artificial root of the tooth and it replaces the root of the missing natural tooth. Implants hold an artificial crown or dental bridges in the same way that the roots hold the tooth in place, without damaging the adjacent tooth.

Implants can restore a single tooth or the entire toothless jaw. The prosthesis restores necessary chewing function and contour of the face. These implant are usually long lasting and helps in restoration of normal bite with improved oral health.
