Dental implants are becoming more and more common as the leading option for replacing a tooth. This prosthetic replacement is comprised of titanium or a titanium alloy. These materials have the unique ability of being able to fuse with the jawbone and the treatment is the only way to preserve and stimulate natural bone growth.

Anyone with a missing tooth may benefit from a dental implant, though certain individual aspects will be taken in to consideration, including: oral health, choosing to smoke, age of the patient and overall patient health.
