Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Dental Implant is a process of replacing the missing tooth..

It is a process in which there is placement of an artificial root in the form of a screw inside the jaw bone and is known as an Implant or fixture..
Firstly a hole is drilled into the bone gently and then the implant or fixture is placed in the hole..
This portion of the implant prosthesis binds with the bone known as Osseointegration and becomes the part of the bone to make a firm XXXXXXX for the overlying artificial tooth..

After placement of the implant it is left for about 3 to 6 months with regular follow ups and x rays to check for the progress in osseointegration..

After this an abutment is placed over the implant which further holds the overlying cap that is the exact artificial tooth..

Now over the abutment an abutment screw is placed and the cap is tightened over it..

This forms the entire implant prosthesis that in general terms is the artificial crown and root of the tooth..
It is one of the best procedures to replace the missing tooth as it is one of the most naturally looking artificial tooth..

Any further queries are welcome..

Regards.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
