Treatment with dental implants; What is it?
With dental implants, lost teeth are restored through an intervention that consists of the placement of osseointegrated implants (artificial roots).
For dental implants to fulfill their substitute function for your natural teeth, three elements are needed:
Implant fixation: it is the dental implant itself.
Transepithelial abutment: it is the part of the fixation that protrudes from the gum and connects the implant with the crown.
Crown: it is the prosthesis that is mounted on the implant and that has to replace the natural tooth.
The material with which implants are usually made is titanium.
