Implantology

What field of medicine is described by implantology? What is an implant and who may use it? These questions are very frequent in peoples’ minds when they want to restore their dentition. Below, there are a few words on implantology offered, among the others, in the office From Tower in Władysławowo, which may turn out helpful during the selection of the treatment method.

Implantology is a modern field of dentistry which deals with restorations in dentition. Unfortunately nowadays, despite the dynamically developing dentistry, a large number of patients still lose their teeth due to caries, periodontal diseases or traumas. Prophylaxis is the most efficient form of avoiding loss in dentition, unfortunately sometimes it is too late to make any effort. The implants used in implantology most accurately imitate a natural tooth.

An Implant is a tiny screw substituting the dental root, most often made of titanium and fixed to the jaw and mandibular bone. Due to the ability of an implant to merge to the bone tissue it can substitute a lost dental root. A connector, which is the basis for a crown, is screwed to the implant. The crown is selected in respect of shape and colour, so it resembles the remaining natural dentition, which is why no attention is attracted and it has the appearance of a natural tooth.

The implants are of use when we lack one, a few or all teeth. It is a more comfortable solution than a bridge of prosthesis because there is no need to put it out and clean. Also, the teeth next to it are not being damaged as in the case of the prosthetic bridge where the adjacent, completely healthy teeth are grinded.
