What Are Metal-Free Implants?
For decades, titanium implant posts have been the cornerstone of tooth replacement, effectively restoring lost teeth to restore your smile, oral health and oral function. However, recent advancements in dental technologies have paved the way for the introduction of metal-free dental implants. These metal-free posts offer a more natural and holistic approach to restoring your teeth and enhancing your smile.
Benefits of Metal-Free Dental Implants
Although titanium implants have been successful, they often contain traces of other metals, which can sometimes interact negatively with the body and any existing metal restorations. Metal-free implants, usually crafted from ceramic, present a safer and more biocompatible alternative, fostering easier integration with your mouth and jawbone. Ceramic implants are designed to mimic the natural color of your teeth, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your smile. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, but they are also just as durable as their metal counterparts. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, ceramic implants can last a lifetime.
Metal-free implants offer versatile solutions for tooth replacement, whether you need to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or even an entire arch of teeth. Our dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and oral health to ascertain if you are a suitable candidate for this innovative treatment.
