Dental Implants in Hackensack, NJ

What Are Dental Implants? Dental implants are also called teeth implants and artificially replace missing tooth roots. They consist of metal screws that are inserted permanently into the jawbone during an oral surgery procedure. They can support artificial teeth, including dental crowns, bridges, and implants. A dental implant usually has three components. The first is the threaded screw that is placed into the jawbone. The second is a connector or abutment that is attached to the screw. The third and final component is the implant restoration. Implant Restorations When a single implant is placed, this can be an implant crown. Multiple implants can restore teeth using an implant bridge. Implant crowns and bridges are non-removable. They are screwed or cemented onto the abutments.
