Ceramic Implants: A Holistic Dentistry Approach to Dental Implants
What are Ceramic Implants?
Dental Implants are made of posts that are placed and screwed into the jawbone, anchoring the final crown restoration and serving as excellent replacements for missing teeth. Since the 1960’s, these artificial teeth have been have been made of titanium. In 1987, Zirconia Dental Implants were introduced into dental implantology as a ceramic alternative.

Aesthetics
Our Ceramic Implants are made of tooth-colored material, unlike metal implants that have the potential to show through thin, translucent gums or gum recession.
Biocompatibility
Osseointegration is the amazing process of an implant (made of foreign material) fusing with bone. Zirconia, the component used in Ceramic Implants, has proven to be a truly biocompatible substance that can fully integrate with your jaw, while not affecting the health of the nearby tissue.
Durability
Ceramic Implants are built to last and because of the excellent biocompatible material of Zirconia, they prove durable and secure under the most extreme masticatory pressure.
Allergies
A very popular advantage of Ceramic Implants is the fact that they are hypoallergenic. The metal free factor provides peace of mind for patients with allergies or even mild sensitivity to metals.
