Question
Will a dental implant feel different from my other teeth?
Doctor's Answers 2
Dental implants are metal cylinders made of titanium surgically placed in the jawbone where teeth are missing. Implants replace the roots of missing teeth and support single crowns, large bridges and dentures. Thus, it is important to understand that dental implants DO NOT REPLACE TEETH but they REPLACE MISSING TEETH.
Current state-of-the-art techniques and technology make it possible for dental implants and their implant-supported teeth to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
