Virtually all dental implants placed today are root-form endosseous implants, they appear similar to an actual tooth root (and thus possess a "root-form") and are placed within the bone. The bone of the jaw accepts and osseointegrates with the titanium post. Osseointegration refers to the fusion of the implant surface with the surrounding bone.
Dental implants will fuse with bone; however, they lack the periodontal ligament, so they will feel slightly different than natural teeth during chewing. Prior to the advent of root-form endosseous implants, most implants were either blade endosseous implants, in that the shape of the metal piece placed within the bone resembled a flat blade, or subperiosteal implants, in which a framework was constructed to lie upon and was attached with screws to the exposed bone of the jaws.

If you are missing teeth, they should be replaced to restore your natural smile, find a good mastication, avoid harming your diction and prevent your remaining teeth from moving. These spaces are often filled by dentures that diminish and impair chewing and speech and often uncomfortable. Sometimes, when there is only one or a few teeth missing, we use bridges, but they are supported by the healthy neighboring teeth that must be cut.
A dental implant is a special metal anchor surgically placed into the bone of your upper jaw and/or the bottom under the gum. This implant should remain under the gum for a period of 3 to 6 months for bone integration occurs.
