What Are Zirconia Tooth Implants?
Zirconia tooth implants are a metal-free alternative to traditional titanium implants. They are made from zirconium oxide, a strong, white material that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. Zirconia implants are designed to replace missing teeth, providing the same functionality as titanium but with the added benefit of a more natural appearance, especially for patients concerned about visible metal at the gum line.
Benefits of Zirconia Implants
Choosing zirconia implants comes with several advantages:
- Metal-Free: Zirconia implants are 100% metal-free, making them an excellent choice for patients with metal sensitivities or allergies.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The natural white color of zirconia blends seamlessly with your teeth, offering a more discreet look.
- Biocompatible: Zirconia is highly biocompatible, meaning it integrates well with the bone and surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of inflammation or rejection.
- Strong and Durable: Zirconia implants are incredibly strong, providing a stable foundation for chewing and speaking, just like natural teeth.
Zirconia Implants vs. Titanium Implants
While both zirconia and titanium implants are effective, there are some key differences:
- Appearance: Titanium implants can sometimes show a dark metal line at the gum line, especially if gums recede over time. Zirconia, being white, blends in more naturally.
- Allergies: Some patients may have sensitivities to metals, making zirconia a safer alternative for those with titanium allergies.
- Durability: Titanium has a long track record for durability, but zirconia has quickly gained a reputation for strength as well. Both materials are long-lasting options.
- Cost: Zirconia implants can be more expensive than titanium implants, but for many patients, the aesthetic and health benefits outweigh the additional cost.

Zirconia Ceramic Implant Process
The process for getting zirconia implants is similar to traditional implants:
- Consultation: Dr. Assi will assess your oral health, review your medical history, and take X-rays to evaluate bone structure.
- Implant Placement: During a minor surgical procedure, the zirconia implant is placed into the jawbone. The implant will fuse with the bone over time, creating a strong foundation.
- Healing Period: Over the next few months, your implant will integrate with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
- Crown Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated, a custom-made crown is placed on top of the implant, completing the restoration.
