Most people think a dental implant is just the new tooth they see—but it’s actually a carefully engineered, three-part system designed to look, feel, and function like the real thing.
In this video, our periodontist, Dr. Raha Yousefi, breaks down the three components of a dental implant and what each one does:
- The Implant Post: a small titanium screw that’s placed in your jawbone to act as your new tooth root.
- The Abutment: the connector that attaches to the implant post and holds your new crown in place.
- The Crown: the visible part of your implant that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth.
Once your implant is fully restored, you’ll only see the crown — but together, these three parts form one strong, long-lasting replacement for a missing tooth.
