DENTAL & MAXILLOFACIAL IMPLANT SURGERY
Reconstructive implantology is that area of oral and maxillofacial surgery which encompasses the use of dental implants to restore function to the edentulous or partially edentulous jaws of patients. Implant also assist in stabilization of prostheses which replace missing maxillofacial parts such as the nose, eyes and ears lost by traumatic injuries or by cancer.
Implant reconstruction enables patients to regain normal mastication, speech, and swallowing: resolves pain and gagging from dentures; and improves the symmetry and appearance of the face.
Implantology is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of oral & maxillofacial surgery. It is the cutting-edge of today's dentistry.
Examples of impants include: single and/or multiple tooth replacement, implant supported dentures and partial dentures, and use in prostheses of the head & neck to replace missing anatomical parts.
