Dental Implants

What are all-ceramic dental implants?

All-ceramic dental implants are a modern alternative to traditional titanium implants.

All-ceramic dental implants, also known as zirconium implants, are a modern alternative to traditional titanium implants. They are made of zirconium oxide – a highly durable and aesthetic ceramic that is ideal for patients seeking a metal-free solution.

Main advantages of all-ceramic implants

  • Metal-free – suitable for people with allergies and sensitivity to metals.
  • Excellent aesthetics – the white colour of the ceramic material perfectly imitates natural teeth.
  • Excellent biocompatibility – the body accepts ceramics very well.
  • Resistance to corrosion and plaque build-up – the smooth surface limits the formation of bacteria.
  • No grey rim at the gum line, which can occur with titanium implants.

How do they work?

  • The implant is inserted into the jawbone in a similar way to a titanium implant.
  • After healing, an aesthetic crown is attached to the implant.
  • The result looks completely natural and aesthetic.

Who are they ideal for?

  • For patients with metal allergies.
  • For those who want maximum aesthetics – especially in the front part of the smile.
  • For anyone who prefers natural and metal-free solutions.

Interesting fact

Zirconia ceramic is so durable that it is even used in orthopaedics for joint replacements!
