No, but tobacco yes?: I have never seen a study linking modern titanium dental implants to any form of cancer. However if one had history of tobacco use, i would first look in that direction.

Never heard that one: I have never heard or read that there are theories that dental implants can cause kidney cancer. It seems like there are cancer scares all the time linking foods, products, environmental factors, etc. To cancer. The fda has approved implants (yes, i know...That doesn't necessarily carry a lot of weight.) but if there is a cancer factor, then implants will be taken off the dental market.

NO, but smoking is!: Dental implants are actually root replacements and are made of titanium, which is a non-reactive metal. It is also used in a variety of other orthopedic bone repair procedures and it's safe use in humans is well documented in over 50 years of research. So there is no cause to believe dental implants cause kidney cancer. On the other hand, exposure to cancer causing chemicals @ work or smoking..

No: Have been at this for 34 years and have not seen any reports indicating this. They are well tolerated by the body and have not been associated with any type of cancer. Good Luck.
