Implantology
Dental implantology is the specialty in dentistry that deals with replacing missing dental structures through the surgical placement of dental implants. Dental implants are artificial devices, generally made of titanium, that are placed in the maxillary and mandibular bones. It is essential to take into account the patient's oral health before making the decision to place a dental implant. For this reason, consultation with an oral surgeon and periodontist is crucial to determine if the patient qualifies for this procedure or if previous procedures are required.
