This is an increasingly popular means of replacing teeth that are missing. A minor surgical procedure is performed, placing the actual implant into the bone. Then, about 4-6 months later, the "post" is put into the implant, now creating an existing tooth above the gum-line. Then, a crown can now be made, placing it on top of the "post", to complete the tooth form.
