  1. How Dental Implants Work Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth 1 They are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with the jawbone over time, and are placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing natural tooth. 2 Once the implant is integrated with the bone, a small connector post, called an abutment, is attached to the implant and a replacement tooth, or crown, is then attached to the abutment. 3 The dental implant process typically requires multiple visits to the dental office and may take several months to complete. 4 www.newcastledentalcare.com.au
