Three Benefits of Choosing Zirconia Dental Implants
By: Azadeh Khajavi
Since 1994, Dr. Azadeh “Amy” Khajavi has served as a dentist at her own private practice in San Diego, California. Among her services, Dr. Azadeh Khajavi specializes in full mouth reconstruction using metal-free dental implants, with a focus on zirconia dental implants
An alternative to titanium implants, Zirconia implants have been used to replace missing teeth since 1987. When comparing zirconia implants with titanium implants, studies have shown the two types of implants have a comparable bone to implant contact, which is an important indicator of the implant’s stability in the patient’s mouth. However, zirconia dental implants have been shown to have several additional benefits.
1. Zirconia dental implants are designed for longevity, including withstanding great force and maintaining the ability to remain inflexible under pressure.
2. The implants feature a one-piece design, whereas titanium dental implants are produced using two metal pieces. Zirconia dental implants, as a result, resist the potential infection that sometimes occurs with the two-piece model.
3. They can be placed immediately after a tooth is extracted, which means a patient experiences a less-invasive surgery.
