Titanium Implant Allergy or “Rejection”: Myths and Facts

Implants, bone grafts, sinus lifts and pre-implant surgery. Understand the indications, main steps, recovery and limits before you decide.
This section brings together the articles on dental implants and oral surgery. An implant is an artificial root, usually made of titanium, placed in the jawbone to hold a tooth. The articles describe how an implant is placed, how long to wait after an extraction, and the difference between immediate and delayed loading, meaning the moment the tooth is fixed onto the implant. They also explain the role of the abutment, the part that connects the implant to the tooth. Others show how all the teeth of one jaw can be replaced on a few implants, how long an implant can last, and what to make of common beliefs about titanium.
Another series is about bone. Have you been told there is not enough bone? The articles explain the possible solutions, bone grafting and sinus lift, which means adding bone under the sinus, above the upper molars, along with the time each step takes. Oral surgery also covers wisdom teeth: why they hurt, when to remove them, when to leave them, and how recovery goes. Finally, you will read what is normal after an extraction, such as light bleeding, and what should make you see a dentist, such as dry socket, a painful inflammation of the space left by the tooth, or the signs of an implant that is causing problems.
Start with the article that looks most like your situation, then follow the links to the neighbouring steps. Each article informs you. It does not replace an examination, because the amount of bone, the state of your gums and your general health change the answer. The practice offers an assessment to review this with you. The assessment does not commit you to any treatment.
