What is a Dental Implant?

Dr. Jason Pellegrino at Pellegrino Cosmetic and Family Dentistry offers dental implants which are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth. They are also an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile, but what are they exactly?


A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically anchored into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. Implant material is made from different types of metallic and bone-like ceramic materials that are compatible with body tissue. In most cases, anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for a dental implant. The benefit of using implants is that they don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support and they are permanent and stable. Dental implants are a good solution to tooth loss because they look and feel like natural teeth.
