What Are Zirconia Implants?

Zirconia implants, also known as ceramic dental implants, are frequently used to replace front teeth, molars, and for full mouth reconstruction. These dental implants are hypoallergenic and are favored by many patients for their minimal host response, lack of allergic reactions, and attractive appearance.

Although marketed as a non-metal alternative for tooth replacement, zirconia implants are actually composed of zirconium dioxide, a transitional metal with a metal oxide structure. Nevertheless, they are still considered a reliable option as they have been FDA approved in the United States since 2007.

Zirconia Dental Implants vs. Titanium Implants

When choosing dental implants, it is important to consider the reactivity and toxicity of the material. Many patients wonder about the superiority of zirconia dental implants compared to titanium, as these are the most popular options for implants.

While both zirconia and titanium implants have similar osseointegration, zirconia implants offer several advantages. Zirconia has shown better soft-tissue response and biocompatibility compared to titanium.

Additionally, the natural white color of zirconia is advantageous for achieving a more natural-looking tooth. Unlike titanium, zirconia implants do not raise concerns about potential tissue discoloration.
