Replacing a missing tooth with an implant can improve your quality of life and is a healthy investment in oral health and appearance.
Dental implants have been successfully made from titanium for several decades. Studies repeatedly show that titanium is an excellent material for osseointegration into the jawbone.
To improve aesthetics, there has been a growing trend toward manufacturing implant abutments from pure ceramic.
Zirconia crowns on implants have become standard in our practice, and the intermediate parts, the abutments that connect the implants and crowns, can also be made of zirconia, a very gum-friendly material.
An implant restoration made entirely of zirconia is the next logical step for patients who want a metal-free implant.
The new ceramic implants are made of high-strength ceramic and meet the highest functional and aesthetic requirements. The implant acts like a natural tooth and has an ivory color, ideal for thin gums.
Ceramic implants are a metal-free alternative with excellent biocompatibility. A small ceramic screw replaces the missing tooth root and heals well into the jawbone. The implant is then fitted with a ceramic crown and looks and functions like a natural, healthy tooth.
