What are titanium implants?

Titanium implants are currently the most common and reliable solution for tooth replacement. They are made of pure titanium or titanium alloy – a metal that is extremely strong, lightweight and, above all, biocompatible, which means that it is very well accepted by the body.

How do titanium implants work?

• A titanium "screw" is inserted into the jawbone.
• The bone naturally grows around it (a process called osseointegration).
• After healing, a crown is placed on the implant, which looks and functions like a natural tooth.

Advantages of titanium implants

• Safe for the human body – minimal risk of allergy or rejection.
• Very strong and durable material.
• Promotes bone fusion.
• Long service life – often for a lifetime.
• Proven in medicine (e.g. orthopaedics) for decades.

Interesting fact

Titanium implants have been used since the 1960s and have a success rate of over 95%.
