Implantology

Dental implants have become widely used because they are a full substitute for missing teeth. They consist of:

• the screw – the implant itself – replaces the lost tooth root
• the abutment – the link between the implant and the crown
• the crown / bridge / denture – replaces one or more lost tooth crowns

Implants make it possible to fix almost any defect. Where there is little bone, it can be augmented using synthetic or bovine bone materials or the patient's own bone grafts.

Implantology eliminates the need to grind healthy, sometimes almost untouched teeth when replacing a single tooth.
