What Are Metal-Free Dental Implants?
Instead of crafting implant materials with titanium, Scottsdale Family Smiles uses high-quality, metal-free ceramics such as zirconia to achieve successful tooth replacement. Ceramic implants are specifically designed to be highly biocompatible and free from potential allergenic or corrosion issues. Ceramic implants protect patients from allergic reactions or insensitivities resulting from long-term metal exposure. Plus, the ceramic material closely mimics the color and translucency of teeth, providing a highly aesthetic result that matches the rest of your natural teeth for a seamless smile!
Who Should Consider Them?
Metal-free implants are an excellent choice for patients who prioritize biocompatibility, aesthetics, and holistic health in their dental care. If you’re trying to decide between titanium and zirconia implants, consider the following factors:
- Allergic Sensitivities: If you have a known allergy or sensitivity to metals, you may find metal-free implants to be a more suitable and biocompatible alternative to titanium implants.
- Gum Health: Ceramic implants provide additional benefits for those with thin gum tissues, as the white zirconia material is less likely to stand out at the gumline (compared to dark gray titanium implants).
- Aesthetic Preferences: Patients seeking a natural and lifelike appearance for their restorations often opt for metal-free implants due to the white color and natural feel of zirconia.
- Holistic Health: Dr. Fattah closely aligns with the beliefs of holistic dentistry, helping patients achieve their ideal smiles without exposure to potentially harmful materials in fillings, implants, and more.
How to Care For Ceramic Implants
Ceramic implants are well-known for their durability and strength, but they still need proper care to maximize longevity and performance. We recommend following these practices to ensure the best results from your implants:
- Good Oral Hygiene: Keep up with regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash to prevent plaque buildup and maintain a healthy environment for your implants.
- Regular Dental Check-Ups: Follow your check-up schedule so your dentist can monitor the condition of your implants, identify any issues early on, and tailor your treatment as needed.
- Avoid Excessive Force: Be mindful of habits that may exert excessive force on your implants, such as teeth grinding or using your teeth as tools to open things.
