Zirconia Dental Implants

AN AESTHETIC (R)EVOLUTION

About ten years ago, various types of zirconium oxide were first used in dentistry to replace metals in frameworks. As an implant material, zirconia has been shown to have excellent properties not only in terms of osseointegration (bonding to bone) but also with regard to gum tissue response, which is even better than to natural teeth. Meanwhile, dental ceramic implants have shown reliable results for more than seven years. These new materials have brought about a/an (r)evolutionary development in dental implantology which opens up entirely new possibilities for implantologists and, at the same time, provides a high degree of stability and reliability for the patient.

The promise of ceramic implants: Better aesthetics for a more attractive smile!

With an adequate investment in time and technology, modern ceramic materials and innovative veneering techniques enable us to create perfect crowns that cannot be distinguished from natural teeth. These high-performance materials are popular not only for their outstanding flexural strength and high wear resistance but also for their biocompatibility. Due to its tooth-like colour and bioactive features zirconia is ideal for producing high-quality dental restorations. Today, good aesthetic results can be achieved in practically all patients who have sufficient bone volume and healthy gums. In other words, with this technology at hand we are able to restore the happy and confident smile in the faces of our patients.

Advantages for the patient

Ceramic implants are used in the toothless jaw to support complete dentures. Temporary dentures can be fixed to the implants and loaded immediately after the implants are placed. This means that you can enjoy the security and comfort of fixed teeth on the same day.
Zirconia implant systems offer quite a number of advantages over titanium implants. In carefully selected patients, excellent biological and aesthetic results can be obtained not only in the short but also in the long run, which sets a new benchmark in implant dentistry.
