Metal-Free Dental Implants Options

Ceramic Implants: A Holistic Dentistry Approach to Dental Implants
Dental implants are posts that are screwed into the jawbone, serving as excellent replacements for missing teeth. Since the 1960s, these artificial teeth have been made of titanium. In 1987, Zirconia dental implants were introduced into dental implantology as a metal free, ceramic alternative.
What are the benefits of ceramic implants?

Some might argue that the biggest advantage to having ceramic implants is that they are metal free, so, unlike titanium implants, they pose no threat to your body, blood supply, tissues, or cranial structures. In a nutshell, ceramic implants are a premium metal free solution in which your health clearly benefits.

Aesthetics
Our ceramic implants are made of tooth-colored material, so there is no risk that they will show, as opposed to metal implants that have the tendency to be seen through thin, translucent gums or gum recession.
Biocompatibility
Osseointegration is the incredible process of a foreign material fusing with the jawbone. Zirconia—the material used in ceramic implants—has proven to be a truly biocompatible material that can fully integrate with bone, while not affecting the health of the nearby tissue.
Durability
Ceramic implants are built to last, and because of the excellent biocompatible component of Zirconia, they prove durable under the most extreme masticatory pressure.
Allergies
Perhaps the most popular perk of ceramic implants is the fact that they are hypoallergenic.
