WHY DENTAL IMPLANTS MADE OF TITANIUM?

Dental implants are small titanium screws that are inserted into your jawbone to hold an artificial tooth in place. To offer a permanent solution, dental implants must first be accepted into your jawbone as a new tooth root, and not just any material will provide this distinct benefit.

The Benefits of Titanium

The benefits of titanium include:

• Strength – titanium is as strong as steel and twice as strong as aluminum
• Light weight – while titanium is as strong as steel, it is 45 percent lighter and only 60 percent heavier than aluminum
• Inert – titanium does not chemically react with other metals
• Biocompatibility – titanium is compatible with oral tissue and bones, has an incredibly low rate of rejection, and is unique in its ability to bond to bone and provide a strong, reliable foundation for your dental restoration

Dental implants offer the most secure and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth largely due to their titanium content. Dr. Chapnick will be happy to discuss the benefits of dental implants and answer any questions about implant dentistry that you may have during your initial consultation.
