Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. This is because they not only look and function like a natural tooth, but the implant post stimulates the jaw bone similarly to a tooth root, encouraging bone growth. Implant surgery involves placing a titanium post into your jaw bone to serve as a tooth root and support the rest of the implant. An abutment and natural-looking crown is attached to the post inside your jaw, which provides both function and appearance.
