Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture. They provide a strong, permanent foundation for fixed or removable prosthetic teeth and are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
