What is Implantology?
Implantology is the branch of dentistry dedicated to dental implants.
The dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is inserted into the jawbone (either the maxilla or the mandible). It often takes the form of a screw that is composed of titanium or titanium alloy. Dental implants can be considered for patients who are missing one or more teeth. A dental implant alone does not replace a natural tooth.
An abutment must be mounted on the implant once the latter has been inserted into the jawbone. Depending on the number of teeth to replace, an artificial crown, a full or partial denture or a bridge will be prepared and installed on the abutment(s). If the patient only has one missing tooth, a single crown will be sufficient.
If several teeth need to be replaced, many options are available: using a single implant with multiple crowns joined by a bridge or a prosthesis, or using multiple implants with distinct crowns. This choice is up to the patient, according to the treatment plan recommended by the implant dentist.
