Pure Ceramic Dental Implants in Brisbane
A Metal-Free Solution for a Natural Smile
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, if you prefer a metal-free option, ceramic implants are an excellent solution. Excellence in Dentistry offers advanced options that cater to patients seeking alternatives for metal sensitivities, allergies, or a holistic approach to dental care.
What Makes These Replacements Different?
As more people experience allergies, skin sensitivities, and immune system concerns, the demand for less invasive, biocompatible dental solutions continues to grow. Made from zirconia, a durable, crystal-like ceramic material, these implants have a compatibility rate of 98%. They increasingly match the standards set by titanium dental implant options, offering a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for tooth replacement.
Some key benefits include:
Biocompatibility – integrates seamlessly into the jawbone, promoting a strong and stable foundation for tooth replacement.
Durability – known for its hardness and inflexibility under pressure, zirconia provides long-lasting performance.
Aesthetic Appeal – these replacements mimic natural teeth and gums, making them ideal for visible areas like the front teeth.
Holistic Approach – as metal-free alternatives, they align with wellness-focused care and are less likely to trigger sensitivities.
The result? A solution that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth and gums for an aesthetically pleasing smile.
How Does Ceramic Compare to Titanium Implants?
Titanium has long been the standard, but zirconia-based implants are gaining traction due to advances in design, surface enhancement, and biomaterial improvements. Zirconia, the crystal form of zirconium transformed into a ceramic, combines durability, biocompatibility, and aesthetic qualities to deliver reliable, natural-looking results.
According to Dr Sammy Noumbissi, President of the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology (IAOCI), “The success rate of ceramic implants today matches that of titanium implants, making them just as versatile and effective.”
We offer two innovative systems at our clinic. The Straumann® PURE Ceramic Implant Monotype features a streamlined, one-piece design where the post and abutment are integrated, reducing the need for additional components. This Swiss-engineered solution is ideal when the angle of the implant aligns perfectly with the crown, delivering sleek and durable outcomes.
Nobel Pearl™ by Nobel Biocare is a two-piece ceramic implant made of alumina-toughened zirconia, offering greater flexibility in placement and customisation. Its 100% metal-free components make it a perfect choice for patients seeking a holistic, aesthetic solution.
Understanding the Process – From Start to Finish
The process begins with an assessment and preparation phase, during which 3D imaging evaluates the jawbone. Extraction and bone grafting may be necessary for existing teeth, followed by an eight-to-twelve-week healing period. The implant is placed to ensure optimal integration with the jawbone within three to four months; impressions are then taken, and a custom crown is crafted and attached to complete the restoration.
The process begins directly with imaging and placement for areas without existing teeth, skipping the extraction phase.
