But there\u2019s also evidence to show that, throughout history, people have been bridging gaps in their smiles with a wide variety of materials.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the earliest evidence includes a 1,300 year-old mandible found among Mayan ruins. Specially shaped shells had been implanted into the jaw to replace missing teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence from ancient Rome and ancient Egypt has also been found. In the case of Rome, a cast-iron implant was found in the jaw of a Roman soldier, while it\u2019s believed that gold wires were used by Egyptians. Other materials that have been used throughout history include ox bone, semi-precious stones, copper, ivory, and rubber.<\/p>\n<p>The first contemporary implant was placed in 1965. Through a test with titanium and a rabbit femur, the scientist Per-Ingvar Br\u00e5nemark discovered that titanium could form a bond with bone tissue, which led to the placement of the first implant in a human skull.<\/p>\n<p>Today, dentists like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">Dr. Goldstein<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/\">Randolph Dental Care<\/a> are restoring smiles with <strong>dental implants<\/strong> on a regular basis. <strong>Dental implants<\/strong> mimic the natural structure of teeth with a crown on top and an implant, which acts as a prosthetic root, underneath. They\u2019re versatile enough to replace a single tooth, multiple ones, or even an entire row. Best of all, <strong>Dr. Goldstein\u2019s<\/strong> <strong>Randolph<\/strong> dental patients can have both stages of an implant procedure completed right in our office.<\/p>\n<p>Are dental implants the right restorative service for you?
