Dental Implant Materials and Companies

An implant is an artificial tooth root, which is usually made of titanium or zirconium. The implant is screwed deep into the bone tissue and after successful engraftment, crowns and an abutment are placed on it.
The essence of implantology is to conduct the highest quality implant implantation, as it remains in the jaw bone for many years. If you need dental implants in Burbank, call 1-818-578-2332 to schedule an appointment today.

What Materials Are Best?

The common types of dental implant materials used in making dental implants today are:

Traditional Titanium Implants

Titanium is absolutely neutral for the human body and does not cause any allergic reactions in the patient.
The process of engraftment of titanium implants in the dentary proceeds very quickly, without delivering any discomfort or pain. It is also important that titanium has the characteristics of elastic properties that are closest to bone tissue.

Zirconia Dental Implants

Zirconia implants are made from zirconium oxide. It is a very durable material. Zirconia is 100% compatible and recommended for patients who may experience allergic reactions and implant rejection.

The color of such implants coincides with the shade of the enamel of native teeth. They are popular for prosthetics of the front teeth.
