Are dental implants safe?
Implants are made from titanium or titanium alloys and these are materials that have been thoroughly tested for many years to be inert and are easily accepted by the tissues of the body. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that titanium dental implants are unsafe in any way. There are always risks associated with surgery rather than the implants and these should be discussed with our implant surgeon prior to implant placement. Millions of implants have been put in place all around the world, and patients now enjoy the benefits that fixed teeth can provide including transforming a person’s confidence and improving their appearance.
Are Dental Implants Safe?My Dentist recently recommended osseointegrated dental implants. What are dental implants and are they safe? Osseointegrated dental implants are the state of the art in modern dentistry. They are small titanium “fixtures” that take the place of the natural root of the tooth. Gently implanted into the bone, using local anesthesia, these very tiny titanium roots actually bond or integrate with a patient’s bone, more securely than natural root would. Most often, the osseointegrated implant is more stable than a natural tooth’s root. Upon these implants, a prosthodontist can build permanent teeth, custom designed and shaded to aesthetically suit each patient’s distinctive facial requirements. Sophisticated research for more than three decades in the United States and abroad has recognized titanium for its biological compatibility with the human body.

Osseointegrated dental implants are the state-of-the-art in modern dentistry. Extensive research for more than three decades in the United States and overseas has recognized titanium for its biological compatibility with the human body. Studies have shown that the earliest patients treated over 30 years ago with these modern osseointegrated implants continue to enjoy healthy, stable smiles.
