Overview
A dental implant is a component placed in the jaw to support a crown, bridge or removable restoration. Implant dentistry brings together assessment, surgical planning, restorative design and ongoing care, sometimes involving more than one dental professional.
Suitability depends on oral and general health, available bone, neighbouring structures, treatment goals and the ability to maintain the result. A clinical examination and appropriate imaging are needed before a provider can recommend an implant-based treatment plan.
