What are Zirconia Implants?

Dental implants offer stable, lifelong replacement of missing teeth, but certain types may be more desirable for specific goals. As an alternative to titanium dental implants, Zirconia dental implants are made of zirconium oxide, a unique type of ceramic that is aesthetically pleasing as well as damage resistant. 

 

 

Zirconia Dental Implants Benefits

 

Like dental implants made of titanium, those made of zirconium oxide are biocompatible and sturdy. However, Zirconia dental implants from our Los Angeles dental implants doctor also offer a more pleasing appearance thanks to their natural color. Over time, Zirconia dental implants may even offer better resistance to oral health problems because they are more resistant to accumulation of food and bacteria compared to titanium dental implants.

 

 

Refinement Since Introduction

 

Although Zirconia dental implants have been available for decades, engineers have refined this product considerably in the meantime. Today, this treatment is even safer than it was when it was introduced. It is no wonder that oxide ceramics such as those used to construct Zirconia dental implants are preferred materials for use in space and other high-tech industries.

 

The popularity of Zirconia dental implants continues to increase as more people recognize the aesthetic and other values of metal-free tooth replacements.
