Implants are biocompatible artificial titanium roots that are inserted into the bone through a surgical procedure and that create a solid and long-lasting base on which to insert a new tooth.

Dental implants are one of the best solutions that exist nowadays, both on an aesthetic and functional level, to replace the loss of teeth.

There are several cases that can be solved with implantology, such as: single teeth (without altering adjacent natural teeth), small bridges (eliminating the need for a partial mobile prosthesis), and the restoration of a completely toothless arch (restoring lost teeth and making them look natural). In the latter case, when possible, nowadays we try to use immediate load implantology to make it possible for the patient to leave, after a single session, with their teeth screwed to their newly inserted implants.

These implants are made of titanium: a metal widely used in surgery due to its biological neutrality that ensures the body will not reject it. Its surface is treated in such a way that it increases the possibility of osseointegration (integration into the bone).

Teeth loss can have side effects such as difficulty chewing or problems in adjacent teeth that may generate a chain reaction, affecting other teeth.
