The dentist inserts a titanium pin that is hollowed out inside into the jawbone of a patient. The surgical procedure then involves the placement of a metal piece that is screwed directly into the inserted pin when the patient has healed from having the pin placed. A tooth implant is positioned on the metal piece, otherwise called an abutment and dental implant procedure is completed. more 7701 Las Colinas Blvd., Ste. 800, Irving, TX 75063
