Are Zirconia Implants Safe?

Yes, zirconia has been approved by the FDA as a viable dental implant material. Implants are non-corrosive and biocompatible so patients don't experience any reactions at the site.

What Does Getting a Zirconia Dental Implant Feel Like?

You won't feel any pain during the procedure since dentists use medication to numb the implant site. After the procedure, the implant and crown will feel like one of your natural teeth and provide no changes in taste.

How do metal-free implants compare to traditional titanium implants?

Both types of implants serve the same purpose, but metal-free implants offer a holistic alternative for patients with metal sensitivities or those who prefer non-metal materials. They are also tooth-colored for a more natural appearance.

How do I know if I'm a candidate for metal-free dental implants?

The best way to determine if you're a candidate is to schedule a consultation with a dentist who specializes in implantology. They will assess your oral health, bone density, and medical history to decide if metal-free implants are suitable for you.

Considering Zirconia Dental Implants? Here's What You Need to Know

Innovative Solutions in Dental Implants

Traditional dental implants feature a titanium rod that dentists secure into your jawbone. Once the area heals, they can attach an abutment and porcelain crown on top of the implant so it resembles your natural teeth. The entire process can take several weeks and force patients to go through a recovery process after receiving both the titanium implant and the attached pieces.

Zirconia implants prove more effective if you're seeking a procedure with fewer steps and a shorter recovery period. These materials come in one piece rather than having separate parts that must attach together. Dentists will insert the entire implant at once so you can leave your appointment with a brand-new smile.

Why Choose Zirconia Dental Implants?

No matter which material you select, dental implants can restore your smile and give you a confidence boost. However, zirconia implants have a few key advantages over traditional titanium implants, including:

Excellent biocompatibility: The 100% zirconia implant and crown stand a small risk of reaction and inflammation. The material will look and feel just like a natural tooth despite being artificial.
Fast results: Dentists insert zirconia implants quickly using innovative technology that aids the recovery process.
They're minimally invasive: Zirconia implants require a small incision compared to titanium implants. This potentially eliminates the need for preliminary surgeries like a bone graft.
Improved appearance: The white color of zirconia implants makes them the ideal choice for anyone looking to get a brighter, natural-looking smile.
They promote good oral health: Since zirconia dental implants don't have multiple pieces, you have a lower chance of harmful bacteria entering the spaces between the crown, abutment, and implant. This design reduces the risk of gum disease, as long as you care for your implant by brushing and flossing regularly.

Are Zirconia Implants Right for You?

In some clinical situations, titanium dental implants aren't an option. Anyone with a metal allergy would need to find an alternative solution for a replacement tooth, until now. Turn to our dental team if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to metals and want to look into metal-free options for dental implants.

We typically recommend zirconia implants to patients who meet the following criteria:

Missing one or more teeth: If you lose teeth due to an oral injury or because of decay, you could replace them with metal-free dental implants.
Looking to improve their smile: Who doesn't want bright, straight teeth that they're proud to show off? If you're interested in restoring your smile, we're here to help.
Living a healthy life: The ideal candidate is in good health with no serious diseases like periodontal disease or gingivitis. Dentists will have to treat these conditions before they're able to insert zirconia dental implants.
Willing to maintain good oral health: Dental implants can last up to 20 years as long as you maintain good oral health. We expect implant patients to keep up with regular brushing, flossing, and cleanings for optimum health.
