Why Titanium?
A big part of the resilience of dental implants has to do with the design of them. Dental implants are made out of titanium and this is partly because it has been recognized as the preferred metal of choice for dental implants because of its chemical makeup. Specifically, titanium does not contain any animal tissue or particles, and this greatly decreases the risk of your body rejecting the dental implant. Also, titanium does not have a history of reacting with other chemicals. In addition, the lightweight design and the durability of titanium make it easier to for the patient to get that natural tooth look and feel.
