ZIRCONIA IMPLANTS
Zirconia implants are dental implants, similar to traditional titanium implants, but made from a different material: zirconia.
Zirconia is a ceramic material, a polycrystalline ceramic. Titanium remains the material of first choice for dental implants and most of the scientific literature is written about titanium implants. However, zirconia is even more biocompatible than titanium. These ceramic implants are required by patients who have hypersensitivity to titanium or who prefer metal-free solutions.
Are zirconia implants as good as titanium ones?
Yes, they are a safe and tested solution; however, they have fewer years of research behind them than titanium, which is why we propose them when specific requests are made to us. We believe that zirconia implants are a very valid alternative to titanium implants and we are members of the European Society of Ceramic Implantology, the most important scientific society in Europe for this type of implantology.
