What materials are dental implants composed of?

Q. I am extremely hypersensitive and my quetion concerns the material of the implant, titanium, which you mention is iron/carbon — what are the proportions of the two materials, would i be able to request of a dentist a particular proportion, and do you know of any sideeffects for very sensitive patients having a titanium single tooth implant? My second question is my adjacent tooth has moved slightly, would I need to have some sort of realignment prior to having an implant? Thanks,
A. Allergy to titanium (there is no carbon or iron) is very very rare as the material is the most bio-compatible material available for medical use, If the gap is small then the adjacent tooth will need moving prior to placing the implant. Thanks
