Research in modern dentistry has created great innovations including the dental implants. So, what are they? Dental implants are titanium tooth roots dentists place on the jawbone beneath the gum line for mounting replacement teeth.

Research on dental implants continued for over four decades until scientists came up with implants that felt like natural teeth and help improve people’s self-esteem.
