Do dentist use nails or screws to put a tooth back on?

Dentists do not use nails or screws to put a tooth back on. To attach a crown to a damaged or decayed tooth, dentists typically use dental cement. For dental bridges, they may use porcelain or metal wings that fit into the adjacent teeth for support. In cases of implants, a titanium screw is inserted into the jawbone to act as the root of the replacement tooth.
