Exploring the Benefits of Zirconia Dental Implants with Westwood Dentistry
The team at Westwood Dentistry in Westwood, Massachusetts, believes in providing quality services to patients, including those experiencing tooth loss. Without replacing missing or extracted teeth, patients may notice changes in their smiles, including bite realignment, difficulty speaking and eating clearly, and a less attractive smile. Drs. Monica Anand and Anshuman Rawat can assist with providing zirconia dental implants, a great alternative to conventional Titanium alloy-based implants for many patients looking to restore their smiles.
What are zirconia dental implants?
Zirconia dental implants are a popular ceramic alternative to traditional titanium alloy-based implants. Zirconia is a type of ceramic material commonly used in our quality dental restorations, such as crowns and bridges.
What are the advantages of using zirconia dental implants?
Comparing zirconia dental implants to traditional titanium implants is one way to determine which might be best for you and your smile. Below are some of the advantages that make zirconia dental implants suitable for many of our patients:
- Biocompatibility with the body. Zirconia is an inert biocompatible material, meaning that it is compatible with the human body and has a low potential for causing an allergic reaction or rejection. This makes zirconia dental implants safer for those with sensitivities or allergies.
- Durability and longevity. Zirconia is strong and durable, making it less likely to fracture or break over time. This means that zirconia dental implants can last many years without needing replacement, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.
- Aesthetic appeal. Zirconia has a natural white color and translucency that closely resembles natural teeth. This makes zirconia dental implants a more aesthetically pleasing option than conventional metal implants for those looking to restore their smile, as they blend in seamlessly with the adjacent teeth.
- Reduced risk of inflammation and infection. Zirconia has been shown to have a lower risk of bacterial adhesion compared to titanium, which can reduce the likelihood of developing inflammation or infection around the area where the implant is placed.
- No potential for metal allergies. While titanium is typically well-tolerated by most patients, some individuals may have allergies or sensitivities to metals. Zirconia dental implants offer an alternative that eliminates this risk.
