It’s All About What Suits You Best!

Why Zirconia Implants?

Our doctors recommend Zirconia dental implants as they are much more biocompatible, aesthetically pleasing, and mechanically sound than conventional titanium implants. As a metal-free option, this material is known for its strength and realistic appearance, which makes it an excellent choice for patients looking for dental restorations that resemble natural teeth as much as possible.

Zirconia implants’ long-term results are on par with those of titanium implants. With proper care, they can offer a reliable, long-lasting tooth replacement option.

Zirconia implants can last long if patients follow their Plano Top Dental dentist’s recommendations, maintain good oral hygiene, and have regular checkups.

 

1

First Consultation

Like all other treatments, first consultations are necessary to determine whether this is the right treatment for you. At this point, our dentists at Plano Top Dental will examine your medical history, evaluate your general oral health, and decide if zirconia implants are your best treatment using imaging methods like CT or X-rays.

2

Treatment Planning

After picking this treatment, the dentist customizes the treatment plan based on the examination results. This plan specifies the precise placement location, the number of implants needed, and any preparatory procedures (such as gum treatment or bone grafting) required to guarantee the most significant result.

3

Initial Medical Interventions (If Needed)

If your jawbone is not dense enough or large enough to support the implant, the dentist might find that bone grafting is needed to strengthen the area. This step guarantees the zirconia implant’s long-term stability and treatment success.

4

Implant Positioning

In implant insertion, the zirconia implant is surgically placed into the mandible. To ensure comfort, our dentists usually perform this step under local anesthetic. Then, the implant is placed in the designated spot based on the new tooth.

5

Osteointegration

During this period, osteointegration, the process by which the zirconia implant organically merges with the surrounding bone, takes place. This procedure typically takes several months and is essential to the implant’s stability and longevity.

6

Placement of Abutment

When osseointegration is finished, the implant is connected to an abutment. The dentist connects the final dental restoration to the implant. This phase is usually short and requires little intrusion.

7

Last Repair

The previous stage is installing the custom-made dental restoration—such as a crown, bridge, or denture—onto the abutment. This restoration completes the procedure and returns the appearance and functionality of your smile. It is made to match the shape, size, and color of your original teeth.

8

Follow-Up Checkups

Your dentist at Plano Top Dental will recommend routine checkups following treatment to assess implant performance and guarantee optimum dental health. Maintaining the longevity of the zirconia implant requires practicing good oral hygiene, which includes brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups.

Zirconia Dental Implant Indications

Metal Allergies or Sensitivities: Since zirconia implants are entirely metal- and allergy-free, they are the perfect choice for anyone with known metal allergies or sensitivities.

Cosmetic Considerations: Zirconia’s natural white color resembles real teeth, providing better-looking outcomes—especially in the front areas of the mouth, where beauty is essential.

Tissue Health: Excellent biocompatibility of zirconia reduces the possibility of unfavorable tissue responses. It ensures a stable and harmonious result by encouraging a healthy integration with the surrounding bone and gum tissue.

Strength and Durability: DZirconia’s material qualities, such as its great strength and resistance to fracture, make these implants especially well-suited for patients with demanding functional needs. This guarantees dependable and long-lasting dental restorations.

Advantages of Zirconia Implants

  • li-iconNatural Aesthetic Appeal:
    Because zirconia implants resemble teeth, they provide a natural-looking outcome that is particularly advantageous in visible parts of the mouth. This guarantees the dental repair will seem harmonic and beautiful, blending perfectly with the surrounding teeth.
  • li-iconCorrosion Resistance:
    Zirconia is a great long-term option because it doesn’t rust like metal implants. This corrosion resistance adds to the implant’s stability and durability.
  • li-iconLow Plaque Affinity:
    Compared to titanium surfaces, zirconia surfaces have a lower affinity for plaque deposition, which can improve oral hygiene and lessen the risk of peri-implant illnesses. This feature is beneficial in preserving the integrity of the gum tissue surrounding the implant.
  • li-iconThermal Insulation:
    Patients with sensitive teeth may find that zirconia implants offer more excellent thermal insulation than metal implants, lessening sensitivity to hot and cold meals.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last After This Treatment?

Zirconia implants can achieve the same long-term success as titanium implants. With the proper upkeep, these implants offer a reliable and long-lasting tooth replacement option. Zirconia implants can last long if patients follow their dentist’s recommendations, maintain good oral hygiene, and have regular checkups. This makes them a dependable option for those looking for a metal-free replacement.

In summary

Dental implants are the most dependable and efficient tooth replacement choice. They assist you in regaining your confidence and smile by providing unparalleled stability, beauty, and longevity.
