Implants are a permanent solution for tooth loss. They are titanumn screws surgically anchored to the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or a bridge in place.
The natural support for your teeth is called "alveolar bone". This bone is so specialized in its function that the only place it is found in your body is in the mouth.
After the loss of a tooth or teeth the alveolar bone starts to deteriorate. Deterioration is often referred to as ``resorption``.
By placing an implant the aim is to give the alveolar bone something to attach to helping to avoid further bone loss.
