Our top 7 Benefits of metal-free dental implants
There are advantages to having a Zirconia tooth implant, sometimes preferred because it is a naturally white material. A metal-free zirconia implant could also be a healthier choice for your gums because this type of implant material retains less plaque and tartar than titanium.
- are aesthetically pleasing because they are naturally white as opposed to silver; thus, eliminating concerns related to the potential for a visible silver edge around the prosthesis;
- are durable, studies indicate that Zirconium bridges remain stable even after 50 years of use;
- have no metal beneath the prosthesis, therefore, using an all-ceramic implant for tooth restoration may provide the patient with a whiter prosthetic than could be accomplished with a titanium implant fixture;
- are biocompatible and hypoallergenic;
- consist of a naturally-occurring material;
- are readily accepted by the surrounding bone;
- are made of ceramic, offering a more natural, holistic approach to addressing missing teeth;
