What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small, specialized screw that serves as a new foundation for your teeth instead of the roots of your natural teeth.
There are three parts to an implant.
⦁ Implant post. The titanium screw placed into the jaw
⦁ Abutment. This piece is the connection between the implant and the crown.
⦁ Crown. This is the visible portion in the mouth (tooth cap) and can perfectly resemble the natural tooth it is replacing.

While titanium dental implants do have a 95+% success rate, yes, they can still fail. Some of the things that can cause them to fail:
⦁ failure to integrate into the bone
⦁ smoking
⦁ diabetes
If an implant fails within the first year, your dentist will replace it at no charge to you.
