  I have full upper and lower implants, they are now 22 years old and work great. They are titanium. I also have both knees and hips replacements and major back surgery to fix scoliosis that involved two rods and a number of screws. All of these implants are titanium many have been in my body for over 10 years and some for over 15 years. I have had great success with them. None have failed. Thanks God for titanium. I&apos;m more metal than man.

  What happened to the new teeth grown in lab we were promised 30 years ago?

  I have an implant from 1988. It is a Kyocera aluminum oxide shaft POUNDED into the jaw with the real tooth sawed off and mounted onto the shaft. This was done in Japan by the implant pioneer, Dr. Yamagami. It&apos;s still there. No problems.

  There is an important distinction, zirconia (zirconium dioxide) is a ceramic as stated on the video, fake diamonds are made of the same is just that has different crystalline structure. Now the alloy is not made of titanium/zirconia, is made of zirconium (a metal) with titanium

  I have a titanium implant of the vertebrae disc in 2012, the year they started titanium as a material for vertebrae disc implant, in 2011 backwards it was a different material I don’t know which was, but my surgeon ( a German infamous surgeon) told me you’re lucky this year we start with titanium which last forever, a year before that, you have to come every 11 years to change the implant of other material which is uncomfortable, so I’m lucky and happy with it since. I don’t even feel it. This surgery was after the first surgery failed as my vertebrae disc was damaged, as i have a herniated discs. This was C5/6. Since 2024, i start using titanium made frying pans and woks, pots etc,,, titanium material is the most healthiest material on earth to make great food and it doesn’t stick and it’s strong.

  The colloquialism for zirconium is &quot;ceramic steel&quot;.

  Great info, I have been exploring implants and find the cost prohibitive.
