Metal Free - Ceramic Dental Implants
If you’re missing a tooth, you may feel like you’re missing out on important parts of life.
A warm smile, a delicious meal with friends, and comfortable teeth add to the quality of your life. Thanks to dental implant technology, you don’t have to pass up these simple pleasures.
Since the 1960s, implants have offered one way to replace lost teeth. Rapid innovations in dental materials and techniques now make implants the first choice to repair gaps in a smile or stabilize loose dentures. Predictable systems from dozens of manufacturers mean that U.S. dentists will place 500,000 of them this year.
With a success rate exceeding 95%, a lot of people are enjoying life more than ever.
What Is Zirconia?
Most implant components are made from a titanium alloy and often contain small amounts of aluminum, vanadium, and nickel. However today, metal-free options offer exciting alternatives to these traditional systems. Zirconia is a crystal structure that is similar in hardness to diamond. It has been used for many years to make tooth-colored crowns and bridges because it is a solid material and natural appearance. With advances in dental implant technology, it is now possible to make the entire tooth replacement out of this stiff, metal-free Zirconia and not just the crown part.
Why would somebody choose a ceramic instead of a titanium dental implant?
Beautiful.
