What Is Dental Implantology

Dental implantology is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on placing dental implants into the bone of the upper and lower jaw.

Dentist with advanced training in this area, perform implant procedures that restore missing teeth using artificial roots.

These implants are typically made of titanium or ceramic and serve as artificial tooth roots, replacing lost teeth or even providing support in completely toothless jaws.

Due to their secure anchoring in the jawbone, dental implants closely mimic the biomechanical properties of natural tooth roots.

Once the implant is firmly in place, the implantologist attaches an abutment onto the artificial root, which serves as the base for a dental crown – the visible part of the replacement tooth.
