Such as, what actually are implants, and what do they do? Let’s tackle the first part of the question. Essentially an implant is artificial tooth root filling. It can be used to support a single tooth, or a whole group of teeth, or even loose dentures. Implants are essentially screws made out of high-grade titanium, and typically inserted in the jaw-bone. It takes on average about 3 months before a crown, bridges or dentures can be loaded onto the implant.
