Dental implants are made of titanium or zirconia.
⠀
Titanium implants are very popular because they have been used for many years and well proven in terms of body compatibility, stability, and durability.
⠀
They consist of 2 pieces:
⠀
- The implant body: it is inserted into the jawbone (under the gumline) and fuses with the surrounding bone tissue (osseointegration).
- The abutment: it connects the implant body with the dental prosthesis (crowns, bridges, and dentures).
⠀
Zirconia implants are one piece. This means that the implant body and the abutment are connected. Compared to titanium implants, zirconia implants haven’t been used long enough to understand its long-term success.
