What is a Dental Implant, How Is It Made?

Dental implants are structures in the form of screws or roots made of titanium. It is aimed that the implants placed in the jawbones integrate with the jawbone and accept it as a part of itself.

As the final stage, dental porcelain is placed on the implant within a week. The construction time for a single dental implant is approximately 10-15 minutes.
