Implants are generally regarded as the option of choice for replacing a missing tooth. Once the tooth is removed the specialist will place a titanium screw into the socket which attaches the dental implant. After a period, generally 3 months, the specialist will test to see if your body has accepted and bonded with the implant. If so, you will be referred back to your dentist, so that they can put a Crown on it.
