Are you considering dental implants? We're well aware that it can be confusing as to where to begin looking. However, if you're considering an effective, holistic approach - try zirconia dental implants at Seapoint Clinic. Strong, durable and metal free, they have several benefits that set them apart from titanium implants. So, just how can they benefit you?

Appearance

Metal free zirconia dental implants are entirely white, meaning they can blend naturally with the rest of your teeth, leaving you with a natural looking and healthy smile. In some cases with metal implants, patients with thin gums or gum recession may have their metal implant show through their gums.

BioCompatibility, Allergies & Sensitivity

Zirconium implants are ceramic and completely biocompatible, allowing them to easily assimilate to the jawbone. In addition to be biocompatible, zirconia metal-free dental implants are also hypoallergenic unlike their titanium alternatives, so they won't cause potential inflammation or itchiness.

Single-Session Surgery

Zirconium implants can be placed in a single session. This makes the process much more comfortable for the patient, as it doesn't require as much preparation or work. In some cases, there may even be options that don't require incisions or sutures if the implant area is healthy and has enough bone.

One Piece Structure

Whereas traditional dental implants come in two separate pieces - the implant and crown, zirconia metal free dental implants are entirely one piece. Meaning they act more like a natural tooth.

Comfort

As holistic implants are biocompatible, the material is much stronger and the surgical process much shorter - making zirconia implants the more comfortable option from the get go!
