Dental implants are titanium posts which resemble the root of the tooth. These posts are embedded in the jawbone below the gums. This makes it easy to place missing bridge or teeth of the area where inserted. Implants are different from dentures and benefit oral health as they are not fastened to other teeth like the bridges. Titanium is considered to have an affinity with bones and also when the new cells grow they attach to the post, thereby, making a strong bond.

When asked about the number of teeth, the immediate response is 32. What most people don t realize is that this includes that 4 wisdom teeth also, which don t erupt in 50% of the adults.
