A dental implant is really a very simple metal screw which is designed to thread into the bone of the jaw and to allow for the attachment of a prosthetic crown at the top. Implants are made of medical-grade Titanium or Titanium Alloy. Your dental surgeon will place them in a small hole in the bone which he has prepared as part of the implant placement procedure. The bone will fuse to the implant over a short period of time.

Once this bonding process is successfully completed, which usually takes between three and six months, the implant is permanently in place.
