Metal-free dental implants are one of many holistic tooth replacement options available at Westwood Dentistry of Westwood, Massachusetts. Drs. Monica Anand and Anshuman Rawat are experienced biological dentists who focus on biocompatible solutions for the smile, especially when it comes to restoring the smile after tooth loss. With the help of our team, many patients can learn more about their options for tooth replacement and which ones are most appropriate for their unique needs. Let’s look at these restorations and some frequently asked questions about them.

What exactly are metal-free dental implants?

Metal-free dental implants are described as a more modern alternative to traditional titanium implants. Instead of using metals like titanium, they are made from zirconia, a strong, biocompatible ceramic material that blends beautifully with your natural teeth and promotes holistic health.

Are metal-free implants as strong as metal ones?

Zirconia implants are incredibly durable and can handle all your biting and chewing needs. Plus, they’re resistant to corrosion, so they stay strong and functional for years.

Why are they considered “holistic”?

Metal-free dental implants align with holistic health principles because they avoid introducing metals into the body. They’re hypoallergenic, gentle on surrounding tissues, and designed to support your oral health and overall well-being.

Do they look natural?

Absolutely! One of the best things about zirconia implants is their white, tooth-like color, which makes them blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. No one will even know you have an implant!

Are metal-free implants safe for everyone?

Yes, they’re a great option for most people, especially those with metal allergies or sensitivities. They’re biocompatible, designed to work harmoniously with your body.

How long do they last?

With proper care, metal-free zirconia implants can last for decades. Regular brushing, flossing, and visits to your dentist are key to keeping them in tip-top shape.

Are they difficult to maintain?

Caring for metal-free implants is just like caring for your natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, and visit your biological dentists at our office regularly to keep your whole smile happy and healthy.

Is the procedure painful?

While the thought of dental implants might sound intimidating, the procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you’ll feel comfortable. There may be some mild discomfort post-procedure, but it’s manageable and worth it for the dazzling results!
