A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth that is composed of three interconnected parts. The implant post is a biocompatible titanium screw that is placed below the gum line into your jawbone. This implant post acts just like a natural tooth root, fusing itself to the surrounding jawbone and providing a firm hold as well as stimulation to the bone for continued growth. The top of the dental implant is capped with a dental crown, a lifelike tooth replacement commonly composed of ceramic or porcelain materials. This crown is created by a trusted dental lab and affixed by your general dentist to give you a seamless smile and a natural bite again. Connecting the crown and implant post is a small abutment piece that sits just above the gums and underneath the crown.
