One of the latest developments in dental implant technology, implants made of a ceramic material called zirconia are giving patients with missing teeth new options for oral restoration. They’re a non-metal option for patients who don’t want titanium implants, or for those with severe metal allergies; titanium is highly biocompatible – but still not for everybody. Ceramic dental implants are a step further in the field of holistic tooth replacement; it often outperforms titanium in osseointegration capabilities, and may be healthier for gums, as it doesn’t gather as much plaque as titanium. Also, zirconia implants look more natural; gum recession with titanium implants can reveal a dark line at the abutment. In all, a great alternative if titanium isn’t your thing.
