The Ins and Outs of Dental Implants 

In earlier times, when a tooth required extraction, there was little oral health providers could do to replace it. However, modern medical science eventually created an artificial implant that restores the appearance and functionality of the lost tooth. 

The Ins and Outs of Dental Implants 

When installing an implant, a medical professional first places a titanium foundation into the jawbone. The dental prosthetic then attaches to that foundation, giving it the same level of support a normal tooth receives from the jaw. 

The Ins and Outs of Dental Implants 

All modern implants fall into the class of root-form endosseous products, which includes items that appear similar to a tooth root and that insert into the bone. These items support a wide range of dental prostheses like dentures and crowns.
