Latest in Aesthetic Dentistry
Aesthetic dental care nowadays calls metal free prosthesis state-of-the-art. It can be considered in many ways superior to classic metal based prosthesis as porcelain has got very interesting features.
One material in particular is known as zirconium oxide (zirconia) and is next to the diamond the hardest material you can find in nature. An advantage, that not only plain dentistry makes use of; zirconia even found its way into Implantology. Since almost half a century implants are used to replace missing tooth roots, allowing fixed and long lasting prosthesis. Especially patients changing from a removable denture to implants value the advantages of implants.
Implants made from zirconia have yet not had much attention, but due to new and modern manufacturing processes they now match the specifications and prices of classic titanium implants.
One of the leading manufacturers for zirconia implants is the Germany based company Ziterion, who is now transferring its longtime titanium knowledge on to the design and production of metal free implants. Therefore metal free implants now meet the requirements of patients with the highest aesthetic demands. Zirconia implants even avoid dark gleaming in cases of a thin mucosa like known from titanium implants and address issues of allergic concerns.
Since zirconia implants are not commercially available in the US it is worth taking a glance at our partner clinics in Europe for a treatment. Here metal free implants became very popular and are available at the same medical standards, but very favourable rates.
