What is that?

Implantology is a branch of dentistry dedicated to the replacement of teeth lost due to caries or trauma or periodontal disease through implants.
Implants also represent a valid solution to obtain greater stability of total prostheses (dentures).

What is it about?

An implant consists of an artificial root in certified medical titanium which has the characteristic of being integrated into the bone tissue.
The requirement to insert implants is that there is a sufficient amount of bone in height and thickness. If the size of the residual bone crest is not sufficient to allow implant insertion, the Cappellina dental clinic offers bone reconstruction interventions performed with different techniques according to the various situations. In completely edentulous patients or patients with old total mobile prostheses, thanks to the insertion of implants, Cappellina dental practice offers the possibility of having fixed prosthetic solutions, improving chewing and aesthetic capacity.

What do the specialists say?

The specialists of the Cappellina study always make clear to their patients that implant rehabilitation is not always the ideal solution. The prognosis of implant therapy is greatly affected by the susceptibility to the development of periodontal disease. Like periodontitis, it involves natural teeth, the same disease but with the name of peri-implantitis, it involves implants, leading to progressive loss of bone and gum around them. The Cappellina dental practice is therefore very attentive in selecting the patients to whom to propose rehabilitations through implants, specifying the peri-implantitis therapy is more complex and less predictable than the treatment of periodontal disease on natural teeth.

for this reason the consultation at our clinic is so important, to study the case and be able to understand which is the best solution for you
