When you lose a tooth, a dental implant is often one of the best possible options to replace it from a functional, aesthetic, and longevity standpoint. At Vios Dental, we offer ceramic dental implants for patients seeking a more biocompatible, metal-free approach. As with all that we do, we want to ensure that we are using the safest and most biocompatible materials possible, while also maintaining the aesthetics of a beautiful smile.
Ceramic implants, also known as zirconia dental implants, fulfill these expectations. As opposed to conventional titanium-based alloy implants, ceramic implants are metal-free, bioinert, they will not rust or corrode, they carry no galvanic potential, and give rise to the best aesthetics due to their white color.
Although titanium implants have been used for many years, we understand and acknowledge the impact materials and metals can have on the body. This is why many patients choose biological dental implants that better align with their whole body health goals.
Ceramic is hypoallergenic and can be used without incidence of inflammation or reactivity.
Ceramic is corrosion resistant unlike its metal counterparts.
Ceramic is strong and does not flex under the pressures of the mouth and jaw.
Ceramic integrates with the surrounding tissue and bone better than titanium.
Plaque and biofilm do not adhere to the surface as much as metal or even natural teeth.
Ceramic implants do not exhibit electrical currents in the mouth, unlike metals.
