When we hear the name dental implant we immediately imagine something similar to a tooth. However, a dental implant is actually just one of the parts that make up the structure for the replacement of a missing tooth.
In this sense, the implant is a screw that is complemented with other attachments to be able to simulate a natural tooth in every way.
In this space we will talk about the parts that make up everything that is behind the word dental implant, so that you can better understand what is required in an implant treatment.

It is the piece that allows the screw or implant to be adapted to the crown, holding dental prosthesis or crown. They are usually made of titanium.
The dental prosthesis simulates the shape of the missing tooth and is the visible part. This is done to suit the patient, according to the shape and color of the natural teeth, to guarantee the aesthetics of the treatment. The materials commonly used for crowns are porcelain and zirconia.
Taking into account the above, a treatment with dental implants is the best option when teeth are lost since all their functionality and aesthetics are recovered.
The implant as such is inserted into the bone and is not visible. The implant has the support function, in the same way as the root of a natural tooth does. The dental crown, which is attached to the implant with the abutment or abutment, is the visible part of a dental implant treatment.
