Allergic to Titanium: What are My Options for Implants?
Last Updated: Mar 20, 2009
Sarah, a potential dental implant patient, asks:
I am allergic to titanium. This has been confirmed by my health care giver. However, I want to get dental implants. Is there any other material used as an alternate to titanium in the implant fixtures? I have heard carbon and porcelain are alternative materials. Please let me know what my possibilities are. Thanks.
