I will get a dental implant. What holds dental implants in place?

The bone grows against it.
The bone heals tightly to the implant in a process called integration. The bond is so strong that it is held more tightly than a natural tooth
An implant is like a man-made root that is placed in the bone. It then needs some time to heal and become "one with the body." After that is ready, the implant is restored with the equivalent of a post and crown. Your bone holds the implant in place.
Hi, Dental implants work by integrating to the bone that they are placed in. So it is the bone that holds them in place.
The implant itself is retained by the surrounding bone. The crown (Tooth) is retained by friction via a retaining screw inside the implant.
