Implantology is the branch of dentistry dedicated to dental implants. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that an oral surgeon or implantologist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. They are titanium made screws that are being placed inside your bone, on top of which crowns or bridges are attached with the help of an attachment, a connecting piece that is used as connector between the implant and the crown or the bridge.


In fact dental implants are so natural looking and feeling that make you forget that you ever lost a tooth. They in fact are teeth that can look and feel just like your own!
