Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. Dental implants are titanium screws that are surgically fused in the jaw bone to act as tooth roots. A bridge or single crown is cemented on top of the implant root. Dental implants are used for one or more lost teeth due to trauma, gum disease, or decayed tooth. They provide stable support for artificial teeth. For more information on dental implants, contact the best dental doctor near you or request an appointment at Apollo Dental Clinic, Jabalpur.
