Are you looking for a way to restore your smile but want to avoid titanium and other metals? If so, you may want to consider Zirconia dental implants, also known as bioceramic dental implants.

While we practice minimally invasive dentistry, the practice of conserving healthy tooth structure, there are times when teeth fail and dental implants may be the only solution. These implants are artificial teeth roots that are surgically placed and used to anchor crowns or dentures.

Today, the vast majority of dental implants are titanium alloys. However, over time, metal implants can show an unesthetic grey shadow through the gums, can generate piezo-electric currents with other metals, and are thermally conductive. Additionally, there are concerns of metal sensitivity in certain individuals.

To address the concerns over titanium implants, we also place zirconia implants. Zirconia is very strong, biocompatible, and has been used in the dental industry for years.

Our practice is one of the first trained in bioceramic implants, as a safe alternative to titanium implants, for people with suspected metal sensitivities or as first time dental implants.
