Corrosion Resistance for Longevity
Titanium implants boast excellent corrosion resistance, a critical factor in ensuring their longevity. In the oral environment, where implants are exposed to saliva and various enzymes, corrosion can lead to implant failure and the release of harmful ions into the body. However, titanium's inherent resistance to corrosion preserves the integrity of the implant, maintaining its functionality and aesthetics over time. This feature is particularly valuable for patients, as it means that their implants will not degrade or cause discomfort due to corrosion, even after many years. The longevity of titanium implants makes them a cost-effective solution, reducing the need for costly replacements or repairs.
