What Is a Dental Abutment?
There are three parts that make up a dental implant: the crown or cap, the dental abutment, and the implant. A dental implant, and consequently, a dental abutment, can be a way to permanently replace a missing tooth, a few teeth, or even all the teeth. Although pricey, dental implants and abutments can last a lifetime. People who receive an implant and abutment can eat whatever they would like and experience few problems, similar to natural teeth.
