What is implantology?
Today’s advances in dentistry mean that losing a natural tooth is no longer a problem. Thanks to modern dental techniques, the dentist is able to efficiently fill any cavities in the teeth, which benefits the patient’s health.
Implantology is a branch of dentistry that deals with the placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth or improve the durability of dental prostheses. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted into the jawbone or jawbone. They serve as a stable support for dentures, dental crowns or bridges to restore chewing function and aesthetics in patients with missing teeth.
Implants are made of pure titanium, which is biocompatible and exceptionally durable material.
It is also highly resistant to mechanical damage.
It takes the form of a small screw that is implanted
to the bone. That is why implants successfully replace the root of a lost tooth and are able to successfully perform its functions. The implant is also the basis thanks to which the dentist can place a crown or a prosthetic bridge during a visit to the office, which are a visible replacement for the lost tooth.
Key advantages of implants:
Comfort
The patient who decides to undergo treatment does not experience any discomfort in connection with the placement of the implant. In addition, unlike other methods of replacing missing teeth, implant-supported prosthetic crowns do not need to be removed and cleaned.
Durability
Thanks to the use of pure titanium for their production, they are extremely durable and allow for long-term use.
Aesthetics
Implants look just like natural teeth.
Safety
They are hypoallergenic and non-allergenic, which is particularly important in the case of dentistry, as the screws made of titanium come into direct contact with the body.
