Dental Implantology
Dental implants are artificial devices used to replace missing teeth. Implants come in many different sizes and shapes; they are placed into the bone to act as a support for a prosthetic crown. These are the most modern method of replacing missing teeth. Basically substitutes for the natural tooth roots, they are made of titanium and are usually cylindrical in size.
