A dental implant is a titanium post that is inserted into the bone. A crown can then be constructed to attach to the implant to replace the missing tooth. Implants are proving to be a very effective way of replacing teeth as they are free standing and do not require other teeth to support them.

The images below show how an implant, in conjunction with a porcelain crown has helped to restore this person's smile.

The first image is of the titanium post inserted into the bone. The second image shows the porcelain crown in place over the titanium post.
