A prosthetic tooth that is anchored in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth.

dental implant
a plastic or metal anchor that is inserted into a jawbone to provide permanent support for a crown, fixed bridge, or
denture when the bone itself would provide insufficient support. About 8 weeks after a tooth or teeth are removed,
the anchor is screwed into a hole that has been drilled into the jaw. The gingiva is closed over the implant site, which
allows the area to remain sterile, and new bone is allowed to grow around and fuse with the anchor for up to 6
months before the crown, bridge, or denture is attached. Also called a delayed load implant. Immediate load dental
implants allow placement of a dental restoration or denture at the time of insertion of the dental implant.
