Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant process involves a small titanium screw being inserted into the jawbone. Once the bone attaches firmly to the implant (osseointegration) a replacement tooth is secured to the top of the implant.

Because dental implants fuse with the jawbone, bone loss is generally not a problem.
