Q. I have had a consultation for an implant and my dentist has recommended an implant which is made of Tivalloy (i.e. 90% titanium 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium). I am concerned that aluminum and vanadium may be toxic to the body. Would it be safer to go for an implant that is 100% pure titanium?
A. I personally use all titanium implants as these have a tried and trusted track record. I use the Ankylos system that has very good recorded success rates over the past 20 years.
