What are zirconia dental implants? Chagger Dental Clinic, Dental implants in Ontario.
Zirconium dental implants
Ceramic implants, and specifically zirconia implants, are currently of greatest interest. Zirconium is a metal also called zirconium or zirconia that is extracted from nature in the form of crystalline. This metal is obtained from a mineral called zircon, which is usually found in silicate form. This mineral attracts attention due to its white color and being translucent. In addition to being a highly resistant and, at the same time, malleable material.
Advantages of Zirconium
Similarity to tooth
As it is made of white ceramic, it offers a better aesthetic result similar to the rest of the teeth compared to titanium metal implants.
Resistant and biocompatible
The body does not reject it and it does not cause allergies. The connection between the implant and the bone, also called the degree of osseointegration, is similar or even superior to that of titanium.
Biocompatibility with soft tissues
Zirconium is a material that behaves much better with the gum compared to titanium. Its white color also means that dark areas do not show through the gum. They are the perfect option for areas of the mouth.
High durability
It is resistant to temperature changes, which makes it a very durable implant.
Poor affinity with the plate
No plaque accumulates around the implant.
Zirconium as a solution to replace lost pieces
Dental implants have been developed for many years, becoming increasingly resistant and aesthetic. They have also found new materials that allow them to offer much more effective results. Among them is zirconium, a great alternative for when you have lost a tooth. It is an excellent material because it provides durability and integration with the rest of the mouth.
In addition, the zirconia dental implants that currently exist replace the root of the tooth with a very high resistance ceramic material. Which is a big difference with the titanium implant because it is free of metal fragments.
The current porcelain material has been analyzed in numerous studies and research works and all of them defend that it contains extreme hardness and a reduced possibility of fracture.
In the past, zirconia implants were only one piece, until the connections between the crown and the implant were studied for more than 10 years. As a result of these studies, the first implant designs with connections between the crown and the implant appear. At Chagger Dental Clinic we are experts in the use of two-piece zirconia dental implants, with which we guarantee better aesthetics and function for patients.
How much do zirconia implants cost?
The average price of zirconia implants is around $1500, and can go up to $6000 depending on the needs of each client.
It is advisable to consult with the Chagger Dental Clinic to obtain a more precise and detailed quote, and thus evaluate if the price of these implants meets your dental needs.
Why is monolithic zirconia prevailing?
Monolithic zirconium is an ideal material for the production of steel and porcelain, being the substitute for many classic alloys made until now. Another of its main advantages is that it is highly recommended and useful in the field of dentistry.
It is a completely biocompatible material and is especially used in orthodontics and dental prosthetics. Its white color makes it provide aesthetic value since there is hardly any difference with the teeth.
