Dental implants<\/a> are a fantastic tooth replacement option, especially considering their 90% success rate! But there is a lot to them. In order to provide the superior stability and durability that they\u2019re famous for, they\u2019re composed of three main parts: the post, crown, and abutment. Each can be made from a variety of materials, meaning there\u2019s a lot of research to do if you want to make an informed decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re in luck, though \u2013 this post will lay out all your options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Implant Post and Osseointegration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The implant post could be considered the anchor of the entire restoration. It\u2019s the piece that roots through your jawbone like a dental root, providing stability and preventing jawbone deterioration. This is all made possible because of osseointegration: the natural process where bone matter fuses with a biocompatible material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, titanium and zirconia are the best materials for osseointegration. Titanium is stronger than zirconia, but as a type of ceramic, zirconia can be a good choice for patients with metal allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crown Aesthetics and Practicality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental implant crown will be the shining star of your replacement. This is the visible piece that will fill in your smile and help you chew your favorite meals more effectively. The most popular material options for this piece are porcelain and acrylic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain is considered very aesthetically pleasing. It\u2019s able to mimic the look of natural tooth enamel, right down to the way light reflects off the surface. Acrylic will still blend seamlessly into your dental lineup, but its main attractive feature is its affordability. Consider your preferences carefully!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last But Not Least: Abutments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The abutment piece is what will connect your implant post to the crown. It might not sound as exciting or impressive, but it\u2019s nevertheless important for the overall structure and longevity of your prosthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, your options are titanium and zirconia. For the abutment, it\u2019s hard to go wrong with either of these materials \u2013 though zirconia can be made to have pearly white color, so it\u2019s worth considering if you\u2019d like it to match your crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dentist Knows All<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choosing your dental implant materials can be overwhelming. Fortunately, your dentist can make recommendations based off your unique oral structure and preferences. If anyone\u2019s going to know which solution will work best for you, it\u2019s going to be the professional who regularly examines your teeth! Follow their guidance, and you\u2019ll soon enjoy your new dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
