A dental implant is an artificial root made from titanium. Once placed and secure, a new tooth (crown) can be made to fit on top of it.

The process usually takes about 3 months for healing after the implant is placed. Once healed, the final tooth is attached. In rare cases, it may take up to 6 months if additional steps are needed.

The oldest patient so far to have received implants was 94 year old. He is now 101 and has been able to enjoy his food without having to wear a denture, which he hated.
