Zirconia Dental Implants

Dental implants offer patients a smart solution to full tooth replacement.

Whether you are missing a tooth, or have broken or decayed teeth, your dentist may recommend dental implants to help prevent bone loss, tooth migration, and gum disease from setting in.

For years, dentists have relied on titanium dental implants to help patients achieve a healthy smile. Dental implants are synthetic substitutes placed in the root area of the missing tooth or teeth. And because they are fastened to the jawbone, they are durable and last for decades.

Zirconia vs Titanium Dental Implants

Unlike titanium, zirconia dental implants are made of ceramic, not metal, and are white in color, which gives them the appearance of a normal, healthy tooth. And because of their non-metal material, patients with allergies are less likely to experience irritation or sensitivity over the years.

Further, zirconia dental implants can be applied in a single treatment, after the tooth has been extracted. Compared to titanium implants that are made of two individual pieces that come together, zirconia dental implants are designed as a single piece, which may reduce the patient’s chances of bacteria growth.

Zirconia Dental Implants FAQs

Q: Are Zirconia Dental Implants Safe?

A: Non toxic and biocompatible, zirconia dental implants are FDA approved and are designed to assimilate well with the bone and gums.

Q: How Much Do Metal-Free Dental Implants Cost?

A: Because the cost to manufacture zirconia is more than titanium, zirconia dental implants often range higher in price. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to inquire whether part of the cost will be covered under your dental care plan. Dakota Dental also offers patients special financing options.

Q: Are Zirconia Dental Implants Better than Titanium?

A: Both zirconia and titanium implants are safe, non-toxic, and corrosion resistant. When deciding whether a zirconia dental implant is right for you, you’ll want to speak to the dental team about your dental goals to help you choose the best option for you.
