Medical implants

Medical implants are devices or tissues placed inside the body to support, replace, or enhance function. Common types include dental implants, which replace missing teeth, and joint implants, like hip or knee replacements, that help with mobility. These implants are made from biocompatible materials, ensuring they are safe for the body. They can improve quality of life by alleviating pain or restoring function. The procedure to insert an implant usually involves surgery, and recovery times vary depending on the type of implant and the individual's health. Regular follow-up care is important to ensure proper healing and function.
