Implants consist of:

• The screw – the implant itself – replaces the lost tooth root
• The abutment is the link between the implant itself and the crown replacement
• Crowns / bridge / dentures replace one or more lost tooth crowns

Implants make it possible to fix almost any defect. In some cases, it is even possible to augment areas where there is little bone. This can be done using synthetic or bovine bone materials or a patient’s own bone grafts.

Implantology eliminates the need to grind healthy, sometimes almost untouched, teeth if we want to replace only one tooth.
