It is primarily made of titanium and appears like a screw with external threads that integrate with boneand threads on inside to receive a crown. The external threads takes 2-4 months for integration with bone. A crown is placed on implant depending on the condition/ function of implant. During this 2-4 months multiple visits are taken to make a set of impressions, study models and attachments for implants are given to support the crown.
