Dental Implant

A device specially designed to be placed surgically within or on the bone as a means of providing for dental replacement. This implant becomes incorporated into your tissue and results in a stronger restoration than the original tooth.

Implantation, Tooth

Implantation is a placement of an artificial or natural tooth into socket in the alveolar bone where the tooth's root fits. This is done on occasion when a tooth has been knocked out due to accident or injury. In rare occasions a dentist or dental specialist may do an intentional re-implantation if a tooth needs to be removed, treated and then re-implanted.
