What many patients don\u2019t know, is that there are a number of different materials available to create the implant posts. In this post, we\u2019ll discuss some of the most popular implant materials to help you make an informed choice in partnership with your skilled Sunnyvale dentistry team.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>Titanium Implants<\/h2>\r\nDental implants can be crafted from a number of different metals. Titanium is one of the most popular and longest used options. Titanium has been utilized to repair broken bones for decades, and it has proven a successful restoration option. Patients who have allergies or sensitivities to metal may want to consider using one of the other materials.\r\n<h2>Zirconia Implants<\/h2>\r\nCeramic materials can also be used to craft dental implants, and they are especially beneficial for patients who have metal allergies. Zirconia is the most frequently used ceramic implant material. Like the zirconia used for dental crowns, these implants are close to the natural looking appearance of teeth. That means that your entire implant supported replacement tooth will resemble your lost dental structures, so you don\u2019t need to worry about the darker colored implants becoming visible and marring your smile\u2019s natural appearance. Zirconia implants have not been used as long as titanium, but they have been successful solutions for a number of patients.\r\n<h2>Polymer Implants<\/h2>\r\nPolymers, plastics, have recently been used to craft dental implant posts. While early indications are that these implants may be effective, most dentists are waiting for more long term research results before they begin offering this option. If continued research proves successful, polymer implant posts may offer a cost-effective tooth replacement option for patients interested in implant supported restorations.\r\n<h2>Meet Dr. Philip<\/h2>\r\nExperienced Sunnyvale implant dentist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgeorgetphilipdmd.com\/about-us.html\">George T.
