Ceramic Dental Implants

Zirconia dental implants in NYC offer the most natural-looking dental implant results. Although all methods of dental implant surgery provide teeth that look and feel natural, traditional titanium dental implants can sometimes cause graying of the gumline over time. Zirconia, or ceramic, dental implants are also a great option for patients with titanium allergies. For patients seeking the most natural-looking results, our oral surgery team at Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center recommend zirconia dental implants.

What Are Zirconia Dental Implants?

Zirconia dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. While titanium dental implants are effective, safe, and durable, Zirconia’s innovation in dental technology alleviates some concerns that can come with titanium. By swapping out the traditional titanium implants for ceramic ones, patients can maintain a natural pink hue to their gumline. Zirconia implants are naturally white in color to mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Our skilled oral surgeon, Dr. Datson can recommended ceramic dental implants or dental implant revision for patients experiencing graying of the gumline. While dental implants have proven to be the most effective method of tooth restoration, advancements in oral surgery have discovered that zirconia dental implants offer the most natural and aesthetically pleasing results.

CERAMIC DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR NATURAL-LOOKING SMILE RESTORATION

How Do Zirconia
Dental Implants Work?

Zirconia dental implants are a durable tooth replacement option that can restore the ability to chew, smile, and talk. Zirconia dental implants are metal-free and comprised of ceramic. During the procedure, the ceramic implant is carefully placed into the jawbone. The structure of the implants is similar to that of a natural tooth too, providing optimal durability. During the recovery period, the implant will fuse with the jawbone, allowing for permanent tooth restoration results.

Because the implants are made of ceramic, rather than titanium, they offer more natural-looking results. Over time, titanium dental implants may alter the color of the gums, turning them from a healthy, pink color to a dull, gray shade. Rather, ceramic dental implants are very close in color to the pre-existing tooth root, preventing gum color from changing. Ceramic dental implants don’t require any specialized care and look, feel, and function like real teeth.

What Are The Benefits Of
Zirconia Dental Implants?

In addition to being a durable, long-lasting replacement for missing teeth, ceramic dental implants can help you to achieve a more natural-looking smile. With white implants, patients can be at ease knowing their gums will not lose their healthy appearance. Because traditional dental implants are made out of titanium, they have the possibility to corrode over time. Zirconia dental implants are longer-lasting and do not undergo corrosion.

Zirconia dental implants were also designed with biocompatibility in mind, meaning they are less likely to interfere with overall health by triggering an immune response. As a result, ceramic implants are far less likely to reject and often fuse with the jawbone quicker than traditional dental implants. Ceramic implants are ideal for patients with allergies or sensitivity to titanium. Ceramic dental implant surgery prevents jawbone loss and resorption, preserving a healthy, bright smile.

Zirconia dental implants can promote overall oral health, as their smooth finish make them more resistant to plaque buildup. Although traditional dental implants don’t require any special maintenance, they can be more prone to accumulating plaque and bacteria. Zirconia dental implants help patients achieve enhanced oral hygiene and a brighter smile.

Who Is The Ideal Candidate For
Zirconia Dental Implant Surgery?

If you are missing one or more teeth and are looking for the most natural-looking and long-lasting solution, zirconia dental implants may be right for you. However, it is important to remember that zirconia dental implants aren’t right for everyone. During your consultation, our oral surgery team will help decide if you are a candidate for ceramic dental implants in NYC. Ceramic dental implants offer an extremely durable and natural-looking solution to missing teeth.

How Do Zirconia Dental Implants
Compare to Traditional Dental Implants?

When compared to traditional dental implants, zirconia dental implants offer more natural-looking results. Because ceramic is white in color, mimicking the appearance of a natural tooth, it is less likely to change the color of the gumline. Titanium dental implants are at risk of corrosion, turning gums a dull, grey color. Additionally, some patients report a metallic taste from their titanium dental implants. Zirconia dental implants on the other hand do not taste like anything.

What Should I Expect During
Zirconia Dental Implant Surgery?

Before undergoing zirconia dental implant surgery in NYC, you will be administered anesthesia. If necessary, any broken, damaged, or decayed teeth will be removed to make room for the implant(s). With care, Dr. Datson will place the ceramic dental implant in the hole(s) left behind by the previous tooth or teeth. Once in place, you will be provided with a temporary crown to wear as the implant(s) heals.

Over the next few months, the jawbone will fuse with the ceramic implant, providing a stable foundation for your new tooth. This is a process called osseointegration and is vital in maintaining jawbone density and avoiding complications such as difficulty talking, loosening of surrounding teeth, and changes in facial structure. Once the jawbone and implant fuse, patients can be fitted for their permanent crown. In general, zirconia implants have an overall healing process of 6-12 weeks to reach osseointegration.

What Should I Expect After
Zirconia Dental Implant Surgery In NYC?

After receiving zirconia dental implants, patients may experience some discomfort. If necessary, patients should stick to eating a diet of soft foods until any irritation or swelling subsides. Patients should take time to rest following their ceramic dental implant procedure to ensure the treatment site heals properly and osseointegration occurs. Before returning home, you will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions. Patients are encouraged to call our office if they have any questions during their recovery. Our friendly staff is on hand to answer any questions you may have during this time.
