A dental implant is a small titanium screw inserted into your jawbone to replace missing teeth. Because [link id=’58’ text=’dental implants’] are inserted directly into your jawbone, they are a permanent solution for missing teeth. Once inserted, your dental implant will become an accepted part of your jawbone. This allows dental implants to strengthen your jaw, prevent jaw shrinkage and collapse, and remain in place for a lifetime.
