Implant surgery is typically composed of two main parts; the implant and the prosthetic. Implant The implant is similar to a metal post that is screwed into or attached to the jawbone. It takes the place of the root of the tooth. Prosthetic The prosthetic is the restoration that fits over the implant and resembles a natural tooth. Prosthetics can be a single crown, fixed partial denture (bridge) or full denture.
