Implantology

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial roots in titanium placed in the jaw with the aim of finding the function and the esthetics of the missing teeth. Dental implants offer a better chewing function and aesthetic appearance than traditional treatments.

What are Dental Implants made of?

There are 3 parts of implant.

  • The artificial root placed in the jaw.
  • Implant Abutment (A connector, placed on, or built into, the top of the dental implant, to connect the implant to the replacement tooth or teeth).
  • Denture / Crown (A replacement tooth placed on implant)

When are Dental Implants used?

  • To replace existing dentures or missing teeth but it may be necessary due to the slow but progressive resorption (dissolution) of the underlying (supporting) jawbone and to protect the adjacent teeth. No treatment process is done to the other teeth.
  • If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them.
  • If you are missing all of your teeth, full implant treatment can replace them.
  • If you are missing all of your teeth, full implant treatment can replace them.
