What separates a “dental implant” from nearly all other forms of tooth replacement is that it feels as natural in the mouth as an actual tooth. This natural feeling is largely attributable to the fact that the titanium implant is surgically embedded in the jawbone so that it looks and functions just as a real tooth root does. In fact, the titanium implant may be even more firmly planted in the jaw than a natural tooth root. While natural tooth roots are held in place by periodontal ligaments, titanium implants actually fuse to the surrounding bone by virtue of a process known as “osseointegration.” As a result of this melding of metal and bone, the implant feels exceedingly solid.
