What are Single Implants?
Dental implants can be seen as an artificial tooth roots that are placed in your jawbone, which are then used to become a base structure for one or more artificial teeth, also known as crowns. A connector which connects the implant that is fused into the bone and the crown, known as an abutment, is placed on top of the dental implant to support the crown.
Dental implants are made from medical-grade titanium which is durable and allows for the fusion of the implant and the bone. There are many benefits to what dental implants offer, hence why they have become the preferred method for tooth replacement across the globe.

- Has good dental and oral health (especially gum health)
- Has adequate jawbone mass (as implants go into the jawbone)
