Zirconia Dental Implants FAQ
What Are Metal-Free Implants Made From?
Metal-free dental implants use zirconium dioxide. They integrate with your jawbone like titanium but without metal corrosion or allergy risks.
Who Should Choose Ceramic Implants Over Titanium?
If you have metal allergies, thin gums, aesthetic or holistic health goals, zirconia eliminates gray gumline shadows and inflammation risks.
How Do I Care For My Zirconia Implants?
Brush and floss twice daily and schedule regular dental checkups to prevent plaque and check for any new issues.
Do Zirconia Implants Look More Natural Than Metal?
With their tooth-like white color, these implants blend perfectly with natural teeth.
Are Zirconia Implants Durable For Teeth Grinding?
Zirconia implants have high durability and resistance to wear from clenching/grinding compared to many materials. However, they are not impervious. Excessive grinding can cause chipping, fractures, or supporting bone stress, leading to failure.
Do Zirconia Implants Cause Metal Allergies?
Zirconia implants are a metal-free alternative for those with metal allergies.
Can You Be Allergic To Zirconia Implants?
Allergic reactions to zirconia are extremely rare, but it’s not impossible to be allergic to any dental material. Dr. Fattah can explain any risks during your appointment.
