Thanks to them, you\u2019re able to use replacement teeth great for smiling, chewing, and speaking. Even so, you may still have concerns. Specifically, you might wonder, \u201cWill dental implants set off metal detectors?\u201d If they do, that could cause conflict with airport security. Fortunately, your false teeth shouldn\u2019t set off alarms. To learn more, here\u2019s a summary of how metal detectors work, why some think implants trigger them, and why implants actually don\u2019t. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Metal Detectors Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal detectors work by creating a magnetic field around you in pulses. These pulses then generate a natural echo, which the sensor turns into a reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a metal object passes through the detector, the magnetic field created by the machine causes another one in the metallic thing. This second field changes the echo the device expects to hear, creating one larger and longer than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the echo shifts, the machine senses that you\u2019re carrying something metallic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Some Think Implants Set Them Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may know that dental implants have a titanium post as a base. They use this material because it\u2019s the only metal that can fully fuse with bone. Consequently, it\u2019s also used in prosthetics and surgeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given their metallic titanium, you might conclude an implant would make a second magnetic field in the detector. Plus, the idea fits with earlier reconstructive materials. Many of these were once stainless steel, a metal that sets off all kinds of metal detectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants (Usually) Don\u2019t Set Them Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, dental implants don\u2019t set off metal detectors. Specialists generally believe this is because they\u2019re small, insulated, and made of a hard-to-detect metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take their titanium base, for instance. Some believe it doesn\u2019t generate strong enough magnetic fields to register. On the other hand, metals like iron, nickel, steel, and cobalt-chromium do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are exceptions. Some airports have technology that detects even the smallest amounts of metal. In those cases, don\u2019t be surprised. Just explain that you have implants and get an added pat-down. It isn\u2019t a big deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants shouldn\u2019t cause much trouble for your smile or an airport\u2019s metal detector. If you have any questions, feel free to talk to your local dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedentalsmilecenter.com\/\">The Dental Smile Center<\/a> is based in Van Nuys, CA, and specializes in dental implant treatments.
