\"Parts<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lots of people want to know why dental implants<\/a> are a better approach to smile restoration for many patients. Part of the reason has to do with the materials from which implants are made. Implant makers use aircraft-grade titanium for the fixtures and medical-grade ceramics for the restored teeth. The benefits for the patient include lasting freedom from the problem of tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Titanium: Strong Yet Lightweight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aircraft manufacturers have some\nof the most challenging jobs on earth. The planes they build must not only be\ncomfortable and efficient, they must stand up to wind speeds in excess of 600\nmiles per hour. They must do this while carrying passengers across the country\nand around the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can imagine, these\ncompanies spare no expense when it comes to the materials they employ. For the wings,\nthey use high-grade titanium that\u2019s incredibly strong yet remarkably\nlightweight. It\u2019s also resistant to corrosion. In fact, plants that process\nsalty sea water use titanium in key components because it\u2019s essentially\nrustproof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These same qualities –\nstrength, light weight, and corrosion resistance – are why medical manufacturers\nchose titanium for the fixtures at the heart of every implant. It was the\nnatural choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain Ceramics: Brilliant and Beautiful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain ceramics have come a long, long way in the past few years. They\u2019ve long been used for dental purposes. But, in the past, they weren\u2019t quite strong enough to serve as the material of choice for restored teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s no longer the case,\nthanks to improved technology. In fact, porcelain ceramics are the materials\nfrom which the visible portion of every implant is made. The result is a look\nthat\u2019s indistinguishable from healthy natural teeth, while still being strong\nenough to last a lifetime with reasonable care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We Mean by \u201cReasonable Care\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because dental implants are\nnot living tissue, they\u2019re invulnerable to the bacteria that causes tooth decay\nand gum disease. This doesn\u2019t mean that implant wearers can neglect their oral\nhygiene, however. The remaining natural teeth will still need regular brushing\nand flossing. The implants themselves need daily cleaning as well; your dentist\nwill probably recommend a nonabrasive brand of toothpaste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your implants are only as\nstrong as the bones in your jaw. Your bones, like the rest of your body, are\nalive. They need nutrients in the form of protein, calcium, healthy fats,\ncomplex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Failing to eat a sensible diet\nmay cause implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything that harms your\noverall health can potentially affect your implants. This includes all forms of\ntobacco, along with vaping products. You should consume alcohol only in\nmoderation or avoid it altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical inactivity can lead\nto serious conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. It\u2019s important to get\nregular exercise in accord with your doctor\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Word on the Subject <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now you know why we say that\ndental implants are made from the best stuff on earth. Talk to your dentist\nabout implants and other restorative treatments during your next appointment.\nYou\u2019ll soon have plenty of reason to smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
