Abutment
The abutment is a connector that is placed on top of the implant post. It serves as the base for the replacement tooth or teeth. solosmarts.com
The abutment is typically made of titanium, gold, or zirconia and is attached to the implant post once osseointegration is complete.
Prosthesis
The prosthesis refers to the artificial tooth or teeth that are attached to the abutment. This could be a single crown, a bridge that spans multiple missing teeth, or even a full denture. The prosthesis is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of the surrounding natural teeth, ensuring a natural look and feel.
