What are abutments as part of dental implant procedure?

Q. I am down to get dental implants but my dentist has mentioned something about abutments? At the time I got the gist of what they were but I was hoping you could refresh my memory?
A. the abutment is the bit in the middle that joins the bit in the bone (the implant) with what ever is in the mouth ie the crown
