Treatment with dental implants: What is it?
Dental implants restore lost teeth through an intervention that involves the placement of osseointegrated implants (artificial roots).
For dental implants to fulfill their replacement function of your natural teeth, three elements are needed:
Implant fixation: it is the dental implant itself.
Transepithelial pillar: is the part of the fixation that protrudes from the gum and connects the implant to the crown.
Crown: is the prosthesis that is mounted on the implant, and that must replace the natural tooth.
