Why Are Dental Implants Made from Titanium?

Most dental implants including mini dental implants, single tooth implants, and full dental implants we are using in the NYC Dental Implant Center, are made from titanium. This metal has numerous beneficial qualities and is widely used in the medical industry.

Unlike other metals, dental implants made of titanium are highly biocompatible with the body and are very unlikely to be rejected.

An implant post can be sprayed with plasma or is etched to create a greater surface area to bond with the bone. It can also be coated with hydroxyapatite, a substance that is found in natural bone.

Allergy to Dental Implants

There are very few cases when people are allergic to titanium dental implants. It is difficult to test for accurately, but it is possible that a very tiny percentage of people may have an allergic reaction to titanium implants or one of the metals used in titanium alloy. In addition to that, there are no documented cases of patients being allergic to Zirconia.

Titanium dental implants are typically produced from Titanium Alloy. It is a combination of a few metals that include small amounts of Nickle, Vanadium, and Aluminum. Only a few people who have an allergy to titanium implants are typically allergic to the small amount of Nickle, which is found in Titanium Alloy. Specialists advise making use of the MELISA test for people with a history of metal allergies.

Our dental office only uses top-quality dental implants from well-known dental companies. These have been extensively tested for strength and safety and are made from top-quality medical-grade titanium or titanium alloy, the same materials used for other bone implants and orthopedic joint replacements.
