A dental implant is a titanium metal replacement for a root of a tooth that is surgically implanted in the jawbone. When the implant is inserted into the jaw, a bond is formed and the jawbone actually grows into the implant. As the body heals after the surgery, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant through a process called osseointegration. The length of the healing time is based on the quality and quantity of bone, as well as the type of implant placed. After the healing phase is complete, the implants are used to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures.
