Dental implant consists of three parts: crown, abutment and artificial dental root. Through medical method, an artificial dental root was implanted into alveolar bone and then the crown is placed on the root until the root and the alveolar bone osseointegrated. Compared with denture, dental implant is safer, healthier, more comfortable and long-lasting. Many people think that to have dental implant is too expensive while its cost is low. Then why implant is expensive? Please see the following aspects and you will know the reasons.
