Implant - What Made of?

The implant itself is made of metal - usually titanium as it has proven to be very compatible with bone and other tissues.  The surfaces of some implants are treated with a substance that helps them adhere to the bone.

Just like conventional crowns, bridges or dentures, the replacement teeth mounted on the implants are made of porcelain or porcelain and metal.

Implants Are Like Teeth

You natural teeth are stable biting and chewing surfaces because they are supported by your jawbone.  This will also be true of your dental implants.  Successful dental implants become firmly embedded in the jaw, providing a chewing surface almost as secure as that of natural teeth.
