Zirconium Dental Implants

Mon 13 Feb 2023

Zirconium dental implants are a type of dental implant that use zirconium instead of the more traditional titanium. Zirconium is a biocompatible material that is strong, lightweight, and durable. It is often used in dental implants because it has a low rate of corrosion, which makes it less likely to cause adverse reactions in the body.

Benefits of zirconium dental implants include:

  1. Strong and durable: Zirconium is a strong and durable material that can withstand the pressures of daily biting and chewing.
  2. Biocompatibility: Zirconium is biocompatible, which means that it is less likely to cause adverse reactions in the body. This makes it a good choice for people who have allergies or sensitivities to other materials.
  3. Aesthetically pleasing: Zirconium is a white material that blends in with the natural color of teeth. This makes it a good choice for people who want dental implants that look as natural as possible.
  4. Low risk of corrosion: Zirconium has a low rate of corrosion, which means that it is less likely to break down over time. This makes it a good choice for people who want dental implants that will last for many years.

Overall, zirconium dental implants can be a good choice for people who want a strong, durable, and biocompatible option for replacing missing teeth.

At AnneSwartClinic we are using the NobelBiocare Pearl implant with great success over the last 5 years.
