What are the best type of implant materials?

Q. Hello what are the best type of implant materials available? Which one do you personally use? I would like the highest chance of success. Thank you for your time.,
A. there are two types of implant material used at the moment titanium and ceramic the titanium implants are the best in my opinion as they provide a true integration with the jaw bone. i use this material all the time. the ceramic material may be better for cosmetics but i would be worried with fracture in the long term

I have an allergy to metal but require something to replace my missing teeth, any suggestions?

Q. hi i have an allergy to metal but need something to replace my missing teeth, i guess implants are out of the question? or can you get implants that aren\’t made from metal? my dentist doesn\’t believe in my allergy but i do have a severe one. i need to get my teeth back, any advice would be grand!,
A. Unfortunately Implants are made of Titanium or Titanium Alloy. While Titanium is a bio-compatible metal used in many areas of surgery there is a small percentage of the population with a specific allergy to Titanium. You may be able to consider dental bridgework or dentures to replace your missing teeth. Regards George Glover
