Dental implants are the mainstay of replacing missing teeth these days.
Dental implants are titanium screws which are anchored to the jawbone.
It serves as the root of the new tooth. A crown which looks like the missing tooth is then fabricated which is placed on top of the implant.

Placing dental implants requires a minor surgical procedure and as with any surgical process, complications can occur with dental implants too.
