Because of their tensile strength or tear strength under pressure, fractures rarely occur in titanium implants. If you want to get a dental implant material that is sturdy and durable enough to last a lifetime, titanium is your best choice.

But the key to all of these types of dental implants is whether or not you are a good candidate for dental implant surgery.
