Titanium implants are typically composed of two parts: the implant screw, which replaces the tooth root, and an abutment, which connects the screw to the crown. Because each portion of this two-piece system can be implanted individually, titanium implants can be inserted deeper into the bone. These parts are often installed at different stages.
Zirconia implants usually have a single piece - meaning the treatment can be finished in a single session. Zirconia implants, however, are trickier to install.
