According to the principles of Biological Dentistry, our primary focus is on the overall health of the patient. The materials we choose for treatment must therefore have high biocompatibility, not cause allergies, or have long-term harmful side effects on the body. One material that excellently meets this approach for restoring lost teeth is "Ceramic Dental Implants."
What are Ceramic Dental Implants?
Ceramic dental implants are generally made from a material called Zirconia, which is a type of ceramic material that is strong, durable, and importantly, "100% metal-free." This is different from traditional dental implants which are usually made of Titanium.
The zirconia used to produce dental implants is a crystalline form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) that undergoes a dental manufacturing process to achieve high purity. It is as strong as, or sometimes stronger than, titanium, allowing it to withstand chewing forces effectively.
