Dental implants can be used to support crowns, bridges, or dentures for patients who are missing one or more teeth. There are several types of implants based on placement location and material. Implant surgery involves placing the implant fixture into the jawbone, with some procedures allowing the implant to heal below gum tissue or protruding above gum tissue. Regular dental visits are needed after implant placement to monitor bone and soft tissue health around the implants.
