| What
Are Dental Implants? Dental
implants are made of various
bio-materials, usually titanium.
These are surgically placed into the
jawbone to anchor permanent
replacement teeth. Replacement
teeth are then attached to the part of
the implant that projects from the
gums. Approved and tested dental
implant systems are very
successful. In fact, some have
lasted more than 20 years with a
better than 90 percent success
rate. Patients who have good
oral hygiene habits and regular dental
checkups can enjoy implants that last
a lifetime.
