Benefits of Metal-Free Zirconia Dental Implants
They are biocompatible tooth root replacements that act as functional foundations for crowns and bridges. Zirconia implants may be the most appropriate option to titanium implants for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities, and in more delicate cosmetic cases.
If you think you may have metal allergies or sensitivities, you may want to consider MELISA testing. It’s an innovative diagnostic tool used to identify metal allergies and sensitivities. To learn more visit www.melisa.org.
- Biocompatible
Zirconia implants are made from a biocompatible, hypoallergenic ceramic material. - Esthetic
Patients with thin or translucent gum tissue, or those who are prone to gum recession, may experience some visibility of the underlying titanium near the margin of an implant crown over time. Because zirconia is non-metallic and tooth-colored, it can provide a more natural-looking foundation beneath the gumline. - Holistic
Since zirconia implants are bioinert, they’re a perfect tooth replacement solution for patients who adhere to holistic health principles. - Durable
The long-term success of zirconia implants is one of their most important features. Designed to withstand tremendous biting and chewing forces, zirconia is well known for its durability and inflexibility under pressure. An excellent combination of traits for tooth replacement.
