What Are Single Dental Implants?

A single dental implant consists of three parts:

  • Implant Post – A titanium screw surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root.
  • Abutment – A connector that secures the crown to the implant post.
  • Crown – A custom-made ceramic tooth that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime!
