Benefits of Titanium

Titanium is a strong, lightweight, silver-gray metal that is found fairly commonly in igneous rocks and geological deposits. Titanium has a number of impressive properties, including the ability to bind with human bone in a process called biointegration or osseointegration. Because of this, and the fact that the body will not reject it，this metal can be used for a number of medical and dental purposes.

• Strong

• Lightweight

• Corrosion Resistant

• Cost-efficient

• Non-toxic

• Biocompatible (non-toxic AND not rejected by the body)

• Long-lasting

• Non-ferromagnetic property, which allows patients with titanium implants to be safely      examined with MRIs and NMRIs.

• Osseointegrated  (the joining of bone with artificial implant)

• Long range availability

• Flexibility and elasticity rivals that of human bone

The dentists will choose a suitable implants materials for the patients after oral examination by the professional and formal dental implants dentists. Generally, dentists are more professional and know more, so it is suggested to accept the advice from the dentist of choosing an implant material.
