What are Zirconia Implants?
Zirconia is a metal-free, ceramic material that is bio-compatible, non-corrosive and non-reactive. This means your zirconia implants won’t cause allergic reactions, inflammation or infection and is the perfect holistic solution for your tooth-replacement needs. It is a highly durable material, making it resistant to pressure and the everyday wear and tear that comes with using your teeth.
Zirconia implants aren’t just about functionality, they also bring a significant aesthetic advantage. Thanks to their natural translucency, these implants and crowns seamlessly blend with your existing teeth. This means they don’t stand out like metal implants, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile.
Zirconia implants are at the forefront of dental implant technology and have a remarkable track record of success. With these metal-free implants, you can confidently reclaim your smile, savor your favourite foods and embrace the confidence you rightfully deserve.
How Do Zirconia Implants Work?
Zirconia implants have two parts, a fixture and an abutment. The fixture, which acts as the prosthetic tooth root, will be surgically implanted into the jawbone. The process through which these zirconia implants integrate with the jawbone is called ‘osseointegration’. The abutment will then connect the fixture to the ceramic crown, which replaces the visible part of the tooth.
Zirconia implants, similar to metal implants, can be combined with other treatments to provide different implant restorations like implant bridges, implant-supported dentures, and full arch replacement. The best implant restoration for you will depend on your unique case needs, the number of affected teeth, and your preferences!
What are the Benefits of Zirconia Implants?
Four key benefits of Zirconia (metal-free) implants that make them an attractive choice for patients considering dental implants include:
Biocompatibility
Since Zirconia is a biocompatible material, Zirconia implants tend to be non-reactive and hypoallergenic. So, zirconia implants are an excellent alternative if you have allergic reactions, sensitivities or other complications to metals.
Aesthetically Appealing
Zirconia implants and crowns have a natural translucency quite similar to that of your natural teeth. This makes them more aesthetically appealing and nearly indistinguishable from your natural teeth! No matter which teeth they replace, zirconia implants offer a beautiful and confident smile.
Durability
Zirconia is an extremely hard and durable substance that can sustain pressure. Crafted from high-quality materials, your zirconia implants are designed to be lightweight yet incredibly strong, with the ability to withstand chewing forces. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years to come.

Versatility
Versatility is a key advantage when it comes to zirconia implants. These implants are incredibly adaptable and suitable for a wide range of tooth replacement scenarios. Whether you need a single tooth, multiple teeth or even an entire arch, zirconia implants can be customised to suit your needs
Comfort
Zirconia implants are designed to closely mimic the feel and function of natural teeth. This means that once the implant is in place and fully integrated with the jawbone, you’ll experience a level of comfort that’s very similar to having your natural teeth. You can confidently bite into your favourite foods, speak without discomfort and go about your daily activities.
Corrosion Resistant
Unlike traditional metal implants, Zirconia implants are corrosion-resistant. This means they won’t corrode or rust when exposed to corrosive substances. This makes Zirconia implants an excellent choice for people who have concerns about the effects of corrosion, especially those with metal allergies.
Reduces Plaque Formation
Zirconia is a plaque-resistant material, which means that it is less likely to attract bacteria and plaque to the implant surface. This can help to reduce the risk of gum disease and other oral health problems.
How Do I Get Zirconia ImplantS?
Consultation
Once you discuss your needs and dental goals with our leading implant dentists, we will walk you through the available treatment options. We will also use a 3D CBCT scan to evaluate your bone density and assess your eligibility for implants. We will then create a tailored treatment plan.
Digital Planning
We will digitally plan your implant surgery with the help of innovative digital imaging, Digital Smile Design. This helps to accurately achieve the ideal implant placement and cuts down surgery time in half. It also allows you to trial out and preview your new smile before treatment begins.
Implant Surgery
The implant surgery will be carried out under local or general anaesthesia to ease your pain and keep you relaxed during the procedure. If you meet the criteria for our TeethToday process, we will create and replace your missing teeth on the same day of the surgery.
Fabrication
Our skilled artisans will fabricate your prosthetic teeth. This stage can take up to 2 weeks to complete, depending on your unique case needs.
Placement
Your prosthetic tooth will be attached to your zirconia implant, leaving you with a healthy, beautiful smile!
