Should I consider having dental implant from a titanium rod?
Q. Hi, i was wondering if a real tooth can be a replacement for a dental implant rather than titanium?
A. Thanks for your question, the titanium rod is placed into the jawbone but has a natural looking false tooth over the top of it. If you wish to avoid having the titanium rod placed, then you would need to have either a bridge (attached to either one of or both of the teeth either side of the gap) or a denture to fill the gap left by your missing tooth. I hope that this helps.
Kindest Regards
