The Benefits of Zirconia
Zirconia is a form of ceramic, but one that is very strong and is accepted as natural root structure by the body, which allows it to bond with the smile through a process known as osseointegration. The material is biocompatible and bonds with the jawbone, which prevents the breakdown in jawbone structure that follows tooth loss, so your smile stays full and strong. You preserve your youthful facial features and avoid the risk of further tooth loss, as the jawbone no longer breaks down gradually. You will also be able to eat your favorite dishes again without hesitation or difficulty. This is also very helpful for people with metal allergies and provides the same benefits as traditional titanium implants, with a host of new ones too.
Placing New Roots
To begin the placement process, our team will examine your smile with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. The goal is to understand the cause of your tooth loss and if necessary, offer treatment to improve your oral health and prevent implant failure. At the same time, our team wants to assess the strength of the jawbone, ensuring we can choose the best angles, positions, and depths to insert the zirconia posts, so your new tooth has a sturdy and durable base. With sedation, we ensure the procedure is comfortable. If you have advanced tooth loss, several posts can be used to support a bridge or even a full set of dentures.
Maintaining Your New Smile
Once your posts are in place and the area heals, or sometimes in the same visit, we will attach an abutment and then the crown or a portion of the prosthetic, so you enjoy a complete smile in only one visit. We want to help you smile with confidence and enjoy results that make you feel proud and confident, and also restore your bite function too. If you have any questions about how our team will replace missing teeth with our lifelike zirconia dental implants, then contact our team today to learn more. Let’s start your journey to a full smile this summer!
