Zirconia Dental Implants vs. Titanium Implants

More and more patients are trying to find the best alternative ways of restoring missing teeth. You want to replace a tooth, and your dentist recommends a dental implant. Getting dental implants is a big step toward improving your oral health. What is your choice of dental implant? Is it Titanium or Zirconia? Here is some essential info to help you decide.

Zirconia implants provide highly desirable esthetic results:

  • Healthy, pink, and beautiful tissue around the implant
  • No gum shows through, like a natural tooth
  • Resembles real tooth esthetics

Titanium dental implants have undesirable esthetics:

  • Thinning of gum tissue around the implant
  • Grey shadow effect showing through gums (unattractive)
  • It does not resemble natural tooth structure
Why are Zirconia Dental Implants Right Choice?

Why are Zirconia Dental Implants Right Choice?

Zirconia implants are the only modern and safe solution for dental implants that meet the highest standards because of their matchless tolerability, health, and esthetics. As a metal, titanium is subject to corrosion and galvanic reactions. Zirconia is a ceramic, non-metal material without any metal properties. It’s electrochemically inert, causing no galvanizing or electro-current disturbance effects. Zirconia has no known allergies or intolerances. This is the most bio-inert and bio-compatible material in the USA and European markets. Titanium is not an allergen but triggers intolerance in some patients. Titanium implants observe bone erosion over the long term and good bone osseointegration. Unlike titanium, zirconium dental implants stimulate long-term bone growth with ultimate osseointegration for both bone and gum.

Chronic inflammation is the root cause of nearly all diseases, including cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, and autoimmune disease. Titanium dental implants have a >20% chance after five years to cause chronic inflammation around the gums and a > 40% chance of causing chronic inflammation around the implant in the bone! Zirconia dental implants have minimal inflammation around the gums because gum tissue loves zirconia. Just those facts alone should be enough to ask for zirconia.
