What are dental implants made of and why?

Dental implants are constructed from 100% titanium. The brands used are globally recognised, which means if a dental implant is placed here, it can be maintained anywhere in the world. The primary reason for using 100% titanium is its biocompatibility. This property allows the bone to fuse directly with the implant surface, a process known as osseointegration. Unlike simply inserting a screw into wood, osseointegration creates a strong, biological bond between the implant and the jawbone. This process typically takes between three to six months to complete. Once osseointegration has successfully occurred, the implant is securely anchored in the bone and cannot be unscrewed, which ensures the long-term stability and longevity of the dental implant.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
