Dental implant is an artificial root used to make a whole tooth (from the root to the top) like a natural tooth at the extraction socket.
An artificial dental root (fixture) made of titanium is directly planted in the alveolar bone in place of the lost tooth and a crown is formed on the top to function as a natural tooth.

 | Crown - The external upper part of a tooth is covered with a crown for harmonised look with neighbouring teeth. |
 | Abutment - The crown and implant are connected by using an abutment and screw. |
 | Fixture (Artificial Root) - The artificial dental root is planted in the alveolar bone in order to function as an alternative replacement for a natural root. |
