A dental implant is made of titanium and shaped like a screw. The implant is placed into the jawbone and serves as a secure root for the new tooth. Once in place, the implant can be used to attach different types of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges or dentures.
With the Astra Tech implant system, you are able to get long-lasting teeth that work, feel and look like natural ones.
