Dr Timmerman feels that there appears to be some confusion about what dental implants are and how they are used.  Dental implants are normally made out of titanium and place into the bone of the upper or lower jaw.  Titanium is biologically inert, so even patients with metal allergies can tolerate the implant process.

After the body has fused to the implant, final restorations can be fabricated.  These can be single crowns, bridges or dentures that have implants as support.
