When an individual has lost an adult tooth, a dental implant can offer a replacement solution that’s less disruptive to surrounding teeth than a dental bridge and more permanent than a denture. Dental implant surgery replaces tooth roots with metal posts that are covered with artificial teeth. The procedure is typically done in multiple stages to allow the jawbone time to heal around the implant and achieve the best results.
