Dental Implants
The concept of dental implantology is the replacement of missing teeth by placing an artificial (titanium) root in the jaw bone where the teeth had been, and securing a crown or denture using this implant as a foundation. After an implant is placed in the jaw bone, it will integrate with the bone over several months through a process called “osseointegration”. A structure called the abutment is secured onto the implant and the dental prosthesis such as a crown is then placed over it. After decades of research and clinical success, dental implants are becoming the number one choice for tooth replacement therapy.
