All-ceramic tooth implants are white, or tooth-colored and are made from a material called zirconia. Interestingly, zirconia is what’s called a transitional metal and zirconia moth implants are made from a type of zirconium oxide. It’s the addition of oxide that changes the composition of the material, as well as its structure and its name.
Even though metal or titanium dental implants are excellent, the white color of zirconia implants makes them incredibly appealing, and especially for aesthetics. Come visit our dentistry center and meet the best-rated dentists, Dr. Yana Rosenstein and Dr. John Habib. You will leave our office with your permanent teeth that are fully functional and look highly aesthetic.
Most are fabricated in a single unit, consisting of the implant post and the implant abutment, which is the part that protrudes above the gum. Titanium tooth implants are traditionally formed in two separate parts consisting of the implant post and the implant abutment. However, newer forms of ceramic implants are now available, and they do come in two parts.
