Dental implants have been around since the 1980s, and are growing in popularity and affordability. Dental implants are artificial titanium roots inserted by a dentist to replace one or more lost teeth. Crowns, false teeth and dentures can then be attached to the titanium fitting. Implants are suitable for most patients with generally good oral health, who have lost teeth due to accidents or severe decay, and can replace a single tooth or entire dentures.
