Implant dentistry involves the replacement of missing teeth by putting titanium roots back into the jaw bone to attach new teeth or even complete dentures.
They are titanium screws that are placed in the jaws with the help of which a missing tooth or teeth can be replaced. These are so naturally looking that the patient may forget he/she had ever lost a tooth.

Depending on the Clinical situation implants are placed either in local anesthesia or General anesthesia under the supervision of anesthetist.
