Today’s implant options are typically titanium or ceramic. Many of our patients prefer ceramic over using the metal implants due to allergies or sensitivities.
Another significant advantage is that ultra-strong ceramic implants are resistant to corrosion and they support the tooth structure for a more stable foundation.
The ceramic material integrates entirely into the jawbone creating a stable bond. The material is also less sensitive to changes in temperature, and its one-piece design helps to reduce the build-up of oral bacteria which reduces the risk of inflammation around the implant.
The natural look of the implants remains constant over time because the white material won’t show discoloration at the gum line like metal implants can.
Metal-free dental implants are implant fixtures made from materials like zirconia, which can be a suitable option for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities.
Metal-free dental implants have demonstrated durability and strength comparable to traditional titanium implants.
