A single-tooth implant consists of several parts:
The implant — Made of titanium, shaped like a screw or post, is placed into the jawbone.
The abutment — Made of titanium, gold, or porcelain, is attached to the implant. This part connects the implant to the crown.
The crown — Made of porcelain fused to metal (PFM), all-metal, or all-porcelain. Your crown will be made to match your other teeth and will be attached to the abutment.
