Dental implant
Also called implant, tooth implant
A titanium post placed in the jawbone to hold a replacement tooth, bridge or denture.
A dental implant is a small post, usually titanium, that is placed in the jawbone and bonds with the bone over several months. A crown, bridge or denture is then attached to it. Implants are often done in stages, sometimes by a specialist who places the post and the general dentist who finishes the tooth. Insurance coverage ranges from none to partial, so give a clear estimate before treatment begins.

The implant is in the healing phase, and she is booked in three months for the crown.
