That\u2019s great news \u2014 you can count on these prosthetic teeth to restore your smile! Still, you may have concerns about these restorations\u2019 materials. In particular, you may wonder if implants\u2019 titanium screws set off metal detectors. You wouldn\u2019t want airport security to become more stressful. Fortunately, your Lebanon dentist can relieve your worry. Here\u2019s a summary of why implants don\u2019t trigger metal detectors, especially in light of how the sensors work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some Context: How Metal Detectors Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer the detection question, it\u2019s crucial to know how metal detectors work. The explanation won\u2019t make sense if you don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal detectors operate by using a magnetic field in a series of pulses. These pulses then create a natural echo, which the machine turns into a reading. As such, a metal object passing through the detector will generate its own magnetic field. This second field changes the echo the device expects into one that\u2019s larger and longer than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Implants Don\u2019t Trigger the Detectors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several overlapping factors explain why implants don\u2019t trigger detectors. Namely, they are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants are Insulated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other metal items, dental implants are insulated. Their titanium is shielded beneath a mix of porcelain and bone. As such, a detector\u2019s field struggles to reach them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, not all insulated metals are safe in this way. Replacement hips, for example, can still set off detectors despite their insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants are Tiny<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might expect, implants\u2019 titanium screws are pretty small. They need to be tooth-sized to work correctly! For this reason, any magnetic field they generate is difficult to pick up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like with insulation, though, size alone doesn\u2019t help implants escape notice. Tiny gum wrappers can also set off detectors. Furthermore, some implant setups have a metal quantity that sensors notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Titanium is Hard to Detect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, there\u2019s the metal used in implants. Titanium is only weakly magnetic. In contrast, iron, nickel, and steel are highly so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, this isn\u2019t to say titanium generates no magnetic field at all. Some alloys have stronger reactions than others. The magnetism factor isn&#8217;t enough on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken together, reasons like those above ensure implants don\u2019t trigger metal detectors. You can thus rest easy as you take your new teeth through various security systems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanoverroaddental.com\/\">Hanover Road Dental Health<\/a> is based in Lebanon, NH.
