If you learn that you need a medical implant, here is what the FDA recommends you ask your doctor:
- What material will the implant be made from? Dental implants at Winterholler Dentistry are made from titanium alloy, that is considered the most biocompatible metal, due to its resistance to corrosion from bodily fluids. It also show excellent compatibility with your bone tissue. The titanium alloy material we use in dental implants provide an anchor for your tooth replacement. Is that safe to have you in your mouth? It also shows excellent corrosion resistance for lasting results.
- Are these materials safe to have in your body? Yes. The FDA has approved dental implants as a safe tooth replacement option. (If you really want to get into the chemistry, here is what the titanium alloy in our dental implants are made of: 6% AI, 4%V, and extra low interstitials (ELI), The interstitials such as iron and oxygen are tightly controlled in the melting process to improve the toughness and ductility of your implant. Due to its added strength, it makes its strength lasting for you.). Titanium alloy has been used for over 50 years because of its success rate in the mouth.
- How many of these procedures have you done? The more experience a doctor has with inserting implants, the better the outcome may be.
