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
