Implants are medical devices that replace the roots of missing teeth. They are used as support pillars for crowns, bridges or prostheses.

This cylinder serves as the base for a crown, prosthesis or bridge. The key to the success of all implants is a process called osseointegration, or the process of creating bone around the implant. Titanium is a special material that the jaw accepts as part of the body.
