REPLACE YOUR MISSING TEETH
Metal-Free Dental Implants
Metal-free dental implants are tooth-coloured, made of ceramic and are sometimes preferred over metal implants for aesthetic reasons. Dental implants are inserted in a two-step process: first, the implant is inserted and second, a temporary crown is installed.
What Are Metal-Free Dental Implants?
What Are Metal-Free Dental Implants?
There are two types of dental implants: titanium and zirconia. Metal dental implant fixtures are made of titanium, whilst metal-free dental implant fixtures are made of ceramic.
Although titanium metal implants have been used largly, the novel zirconia dental implants is a unique implant material that is starting to gain prevalent usage because of its aesthetic appeal.
After the surgical phase of treatment, the prosthetic phase begins: a replacement tooth in the form of a crown, bridge or denture, is placed over the implant.
Benefits of Metal-Free Dental Implants
Aesthetic & Cosmetic Appeal
Zirconia is more aesthetically and cosmetically appealing than titanium metal dental implants, as it is white and close to the colour of teeth.
Therefore they blend enhance with the implant crown or bridge above.
Natural Feel
Provides a more natural feel as their physical properties are similar to your jaw bone and tooth root, enhancing your chewing ability.
Prevent Damages
Prevents further bone loss and gum recession, by stimualting growth and development of the jawbone.
Once the implant is placed, it functions as a natural tooth root, allowing the jawbone to grow well.
Do I Need Metal-Free Dental Implants?
- Your natural tooth is missing, failing or loose;
- You are experiencing chewing problems, speech problems or have missing teeth that affects your smile;
- You have considerations about wearing dentures;
- You are unsatisfied with your current denture;
- You have thin gums;
- You are looking for a long-term cure for dental health.

What Are the Risks Involved?
- Low-temperature degradation as the product ages. This could result in degradation of the material, reducing the strength and tenacity of the material;
- One-piece dental implants, but the limitations of these systems need to be considered. The options for abutment angulation are reduced, and this could compromise the surgical positioning of the implant;
- Positioning an implant incorrectly could damage the physical properties of the material;
- Metal-free dental implants have not been around for as long as metal dental implants, and so do not have the same track record and statistically-known success rate.
