The implant post is a small screw made of titanium (or another biocompatible material) that replaces the tooth root. It performs all the same functions as your original tooth root in stimulating your supporting bone to keep your mouth healthy. After being surgically placed into the jawbone, the implant post integrates with your bone tissue to provide a stable foundation for your tooth. Implant restorations are designed to cap the implant post, fully restoring your smile and completing your treatment.
