implants

An implant is an object that's inserted into a person's body for medical or cosmetic reasons.

When we talk about implants, most people think of artificial teeth or parts that help someone walk again. But it can also mean something else – like a device that's put under your skin to help you hear better. Sometimes people get dental implants after losing a tooth due to an accident or illness. This way they don't feel self-conscious smiling in public.
