Tooth Implant

A surgical component (artificial root) that interfaces with the bone of the jaw to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown. It is the gold standard for replacing a single missing tooth without grinding down the neighboring teeth (as required for a bridge).

Why It Matters

It prevents the bone loss that normally happens after a tooth is lost. It looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.

Clinical Details

• Components: 1. Implant Body (in bone) -> 2. Abutment (connector) -> 3. Crown (white tooth).
