Research Summary: Dental Implants

Saturday March 18, 2006
Dental implants are very small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the bone to provide a secure foundation for artificial teeth. An appointment to get dental implants is usually done in two surgical procedures within about 3 - 6 months of each other. According to ABC7news.com, some dentists are now able to do dental implants in a one hour office visit.
