Dental implants are one of the most modern and effective methods for replacing missing teeth. They are small, biocompatible titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as artificial tooth roots.

Most people who have lost one or more teeth are suitable candidates for implants, as long as they have good general health and sufficient bone mass in the jaw.
