Dental implants are nothing new. They have been used to permanently replace teeth since the mid 60s.
The Astra Tech Implant System™ has been on the market over 20 years. Based on years of extensive research, we have developed a unique dental implant system that provides a secure anchor for new, natural-looking teeth.
A small titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone. Titanium is a metal accepted by the body and heals together with the bone tissue to form a new, stable tooth root.
An abutment is a ceramic or titanium post that is placed into the implant to support a crown.
Once the dental implant and the abutment are in place, your dental professional fits the crown, the bridge or the prosthesis.
