Ceramic implants have introduced a very new technology, offering a strong and durable material, similar to titanium, without the risk of corrosion. In some cases, ceramic implants may be the only option for patients who are allergic to titanium or other metals.
Pros of ceramic implants: 1. Natural look 2. Durable material 3. Low affinity for plaque Cons of ceramic implants: 1. Delicate design 2. Difficult implantation 3. Limited indications Metal implants are the older of the two main types of implants available; however, they have successfully passed the test of time. Patients who receive titanium implants do not usually face any concerns with their implants for 20 or even 30 years. Pros of metal implants: 1. Strength and durability 2. Simple design Cons of metal implants: 1. Corrosion 2. Appearance Both ceramic and metal implants are safe, have been FDA approved, and undergone significant testing before they were made available to the public.
