Zirconia Dental Implants
What Are Zirconia Dental Implants?
Zirconia dental implants are an alternative to traditional titanium dental implants for replacing missing teeth. Unlike titanium implants, which are made of 99.9% titanium metal, zirconia implants are made of a ceramic material called zirconium dioxide. Zirconia implants are known for their biocompatibility, durability, and aesthetic appeal. They are becoming an increasingly popular choice for those seeking a more metal-free option for dental implants.

Who Needs Zirconia Dental Implants?
Zirconia dental implants are suitable for various patients, particularly those with the following considerations:
- Metal Allergies: Perfect for individuals allergic or sensitive to titanium or other metals.
- Aesthetic Concerns: The natural white color of zirconia blends seamlessly with gums and teeth, ideal for patients with thin gum tissue.
- Gum Recession: Zirconia implants prevent the grayish discoloration that can occur with titanium implants in cases of gum recession.
- Holistic Preferences: A great choice for those seeking a metal-free, natural option.
- Systemic Health Concerns: Zirconia’s biocompatibility reduces the risk of inflammation or rejection, making it suitable for patients with autoimmune conditions or systemic sensitivities.
Whether replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth, Zirconia dental implants are a suitable option for many types of patients. It is important to consult with your dentist at Atlas Dental to determine if zirconia dental implants are right for you.
