What is dental implant?

          What is implant? Implant is an innovation in dental treatment to replace a missing tooth. Implant is a replacement of natural tooth root made of titanium. Implant is designed to fuse with the bone and absorb the chewing or grinding pressure.

          There are several types of implants and each type requires different technique and depends on the dental diagnosis. The location of implant is based on the size, bone density and direction of implant placement to ensure that it can be utilized as efficient as a natural tooth. The price of implant depends on the type of implant and the crown material.
