Zirconia Dental Implant

Like zirconia crowns, zirconia dental implants are made from the biocompatible ceramic material known as zirconium dioxide. These implants provide an alternative to conventional titanium implants, which benefits those with metal allergies or sensitivity. Zirconia implants are hypoallergenic and provide the most life-like appearance of any implant due to how similar the matte texture of zirconia is to natural tooth enamel.

Technically, zirconia is a “transitional metal,” rather than a true ceramic like those used in pottery. It’s oxidized into a ceramic material but retains the strength of metal. Patients therefore have nothing to fear concerning its strength. Zirconia is also bioinert, which means that it doesn’t migrate within the body, corrode, or react with chemicals in the body.

Our technicians would be happy to evaluate you to see if a zirconia dental implant is the right treatment for your situation.
