A lot of our patients are coming to us with issues, they’re very concerned about different metals in their mouth. They might have some chronic illnesses; they might be concerned with radiation sensitivity, with all of the environmental factors that are around us and getting worse every day and what impact it’s going to have on the mouth. And they’re keen to remove mercury amalgam fillings and any other metals in the mouth.
Now obviously when they have the missing tooth, they may have had a titanium implant in the past. If they have a missing tooth and want a solution, then our solution is a Zirconia implant. The Zirconia implant is successful. It doesn’t have any metal in it, it’s a Zirconia oxide, and it doesn’t corrode. So it doesn’t have any effect with the environment around. And it’s stronger actually than titanium to compressive strength. So you’ll get many, many years of use out of it. So these are the reasons why we have chosen to use Zirconia implants and are working extremely well on getting beautiful aesthetic results because they’re white as our teeth are. And if you’ve got thin gums and thin bone, then sometimes you can see the metal after a few years on a titanium implant.
Keep Smiling,
It’s good for You!
