When it's time to remove a metal implant, we are here to help. Metal implants have a lifespan of about 15 years. Sometimes they go bad before that time, or sometimes a patient just wants to remove all of the metal in their mouth. While the ADA supports the placement of metal implants, a patient is always free to choose to make their own health decisions. 

​

While rare, reactions to metal, including titanium, has been known to occur. If you do have an allergic reaction to a metal in your mouth, you should seek advice about how to proceed with ameliorating your reactions.

​

If you want an implant restored, please note that we only place ceramic implants. If you have a metal implant removed, we will not re-use it. If you have a ceramic implant removed, it can often be re-used but the implant site will have heal for approximately six months first.
