Dental Implant Glossary Implants Artificial tooth roots that are placed into and fuse with the bone of the jaw.  They can be used to                      replace teeth or to support and retain dentures.  The placement is generally so simple as to be                      inconsequential.   In areas where bone is lacking to support these implants, we now have                       ingenious and effective techniques to add bone.  Teeth can be placed on the implants usually after                       four months; however, some of the newer systems that we have researched may be restored in as                      quickly as eight weeks.  See our two pages on implants.
