Typically, a cap or multipartite bridge is placed in place of natural teeth with the help of titanium or zirconia implants. Dental implants are inserted into the bone with a very small surgery, only part of the tooth is numbed during surgery. This process is similar to a tooth extraction process and takes less time, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Dental implants are considered to be the most effective treatment for artificial teeth so far. Before implants, bridges or dentures were used in place of broken or fallen teeth, which can be removed.
