Take A Bite Out Your Dentists Hide
Hold out for finding a dentist that uses metal-free zirconia implants which have been used in Europe and South America for a while now.
Traditional metal dental implants and fillings release metal ions into your mouth 24 hours a day. This chronic exposure may trigger inflammation, allergies, and autoimmune disease in susceptible individuals. They are a precursor to disease.
Cases of intolerance to metal implants, even the newer ones made of titanium, have been reported. The removal of any incompatible dental material has resulted in reduced metal sensitivity and long-term health improvement in the majority of patients.
Zirconia is a New Alternative to Titanium Implants
In recent years, high-strength ceramic implants have become attractive alternatives to titanium implants, and some current research has focused on the viability of materials such as zirconia (the dioxide of zirconium, a metal close to titanium on the periodic table).
Metal-free zirconia implants have been used in Europe and South America for years, but they have only recently become available in the U.S.
Zirconia implants are highly biocompatible to the human body and exhibit minimum ion release compared to metallic implants.
Moreover, zirconia ceramics have been successfully used in orthopedic surgery to manufacture ball heads for total hip replacements.
Given that titanium dental implants can induce metal sensitivity, inflammation, autoimmunity, and malignant tumors, while zirconia implants are metal-free but just as durable, why invite chronic metal exposure?
Your body would surely benefit from choosing the biocompatible, ceramic dental implant over the standard, titanium metal implant.
