What is Dental Implantology?

Dental Implantology is the branch of dentistry that allows missing teeth to be replaced with dental implants, restoring the aesthetics of the smile, chewing function, and the stability of the dentition. At Empordà Odontòlegs, in Palafrugell, we offer implant dentistry treatments using safe, precise, and minimally invasive techniques, thanks to a highly qualified team and the use of advanced technology.

Dental implants are titanium or zirconia screws that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once integrated with the bone through the process of osseointegration, they allow the placement of a crown, bridge, or fixed or removable dental prosthesis, achieving a natural functional and aesthetic result.

In certain cases, we also use advanced techniques such as immediate loading implants, which allow a fixed provisional dental prosthesis to be placed within a few hours or the day after surgery, quickly restoring aesthetics and function while the implant integrates with the bone.
