dental implants
Artificial rooted teeth
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically titanium posts surgically anchored into the jawbone to support replacement teeth.
Unlike dentures, which rest on the gums, implants fuse with bone tissue and function like natural teeth: She got dental implants after the accident.
The term covers both the anchoring post and the full prosthetic assembly.
