What is a dental implant?
A dental implant usually consists of three parts; the implant body or fixturewhich is placed in bone, the abutmentwhich is usually screwed into the implant body and is similar to a tooth prepared for a crown, and a crownwhich goes onto the abutment. The implant body is usually titanium. The crown is usually a tooth colored ceramic but can be gold if the patient wishes. Call your implant dentist today.
