Implants
If you are missing teeth, a dental implant is like an artificial tooth root that fits, functions, and feels like a natural tooth.  The implants are usually made of titanium.  They are very durable and are well accepted by the human body.

Dental implants are becoming a popular alternative to traditional, removable bridges and dentures.  After a dental implant is placed and the jawbone has healed, permanent teeth can be built on top of them (such as a crown or bridge).
