Embedded in the jawbone, they act as anchors for a replacement tooth, also known as a crown, or a full set of replacement teeth in the form of a denture. The purpose of dental implant surgery is to fix metallic anchors in the jaw bone so that they can receive the replacement teeth and hold them in place. Dental implants should be considered as an option for replacing failing or missing teeth and often provide more predictable results than bridgework, resin bonded bridges, or endodontic treatment.

Improved appearance and functionality like natural teeth, preservation of facial structures, improved self-esteem and self-confidence can be listed as some of the benefits of dental implants.
