At Dr. Roze BioHealth and BioDental Clinics, we are not only specialists in dental implants but work towards helping you to maintain your excellent oral as well as general health. Having a healthy body is simultaneous with having a healthy mouth and will help you recover better and faster from any surgical procedure. Our deontology as biological dentists leads us to prefer ceramic implants to titanium for the following reasons that will be explained to you in detail during your appointment : Benefits our of ceramic dental implants:

  • Aesthetically-Pleasing
    Ceramic dental implants are more aesthetically-pleasing due to their gorgeous white and smooth finish. This creates a seamless look in the mouth for a more uniform smile. The zirconia also stays white despite being in a patient’s mouth for years.
  • Better Bond with Bone
    Overall osseointegration with the bone has been found to either be similar to or better than titanium implants when using ceramic. This is ideal for patients who have had failed implants and need a more stable solution to their oral health needs.
  • Helps with Plaque Accumulation
    Due to its smooth finish, ceramic implants inhibit the adhesion of plaque and bacteria, lending to a healthier smile and mouth. This prevents failure of the implant due to bacteria and inflammation.
  • High Endurance
    When it concerns ceramic vs metal, ceramic has a higher endurance rate than titanium. These implants can endure up to 150 pounds of force before fracturing and cracking, which is highly beneficial to people of all ages and sizes.
  • No Allergic Reactions
    Some patients have an allergy to titanium and unfortunately, it is not uncommon for surgeons to find out about this allergy until a titanium implant has been placed. Because zirconia is a clean and metal-free option, it is ideal for patients with allergies and for surgeons who are looking to prevent potential allergic reactions in patients.
  • Biocompatible and Metal-Free
    Many patients are concerned about putting metal in their mouths and are looking to switch to more natural dental prosthetics. Ceramic implants do not contain metal and are free of allergens, providing a more biological approach to replacing missing teeth.
  • No Corrosion
    Titanium implants can and will eventually corrode, causing major dental complications within the mouth decades after they have been placed. Corrosion of titanium implants can cause bone loss, infection and severe inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue. Because of their metal-free design, ceramic implants will not corrode over time and are meant to last for decades.
  • Non-Polar
    Because of the implant’s non-polar structure, bacteria will not adhere onto the zirconia implant as it would on titanium. This creates a healthier implant option for the mouth without the fear of bacterial growth underneath the gums.
  • Non-Heat Conductive
    Unlike metal, ceramic implants do not conduct heat. Titanium can and will conduct as well as hold onto heat, which could damage surrounding tissue. Once the zirconia implant has been placed, the tissue around the implant can heal and will remain unaffected.
  • Preserves Bone
    Titanium has been shown to cause peri-implant bone loss in those who have had implants placed. Ceramic implants, on the other hand, do not cause this bone loss and are more ideal for long-term surgical use.
  • Cleaner
    Ceramic implant margins are placed at the gum line, whereas titanium is placed underneath the gum line. This above gum level option helps the patient to keep the implant cleaner and preserves healthy surrounding gum tissue as a result of better oral hygiene.
  • No Metallic Taste
    Titanium is a metal that can cause corrosion and oxidation, resulting in a metallic taste in the mouth for your patients. Zirconia is clean and free of metal, preventing that unpleasant metallic taste after implantation has been complete.
  • Happier patients
    Ceramic implants require very little healing time, are cleaner and whiter looking as well as being better for patients’ overall oral health. Because of this, implant procedures using this material results in happier patients with fewer recovery problems.
