Three interesting facts about dental implants that may interest you:

1. Dental implants are the strongest tooth replacement option and the only one that stimulates natural bone growth.
2. Dental implants date back to ancient times! In approximately 2500 BC, ancient Egyptians used ligature wire made of gold to try to stabilize teeth. Other ancient peoples used bones, ivory, and shells to create tooth replacements.
3. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, a Swedish orthopedic surgeon named P.I. Branemark discovered that titanium fuses with bone while experimenting with transplanting the tibia and fibula in 1952. His experiments had been focused on knee and hip surgery. However, after his discovery, he switched his focus to dental applications, partially due to widespread tooth loss among the general population.

Dentists have been successfully replacing teeth with dental implants for decades. This time-tested dental restoration can help you create a beautiful, functioning smile.
