Why Ceramic Implants

The safe alternative to metal.

A dental implant is a device that is placed in the bone to replace a missing tooth. The bone then grows around the implant, “locking” it in to secure it in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant is firm, it can be restored with a crown, bridge, or used to snap in a denture.

Most modern dental implants are made of either titanium (metal) or a bioceramic material. The doctors at Lotus Dental Wellness offer ceramic dental implants, a non-metal alternative that acts and looks just like a natural, healthy tooth. Our ceramic implants are made of zirconia, which has been proven to be both high-strength and friendly to the bone and gum tissues. Osseointegration of a zirconia implant is comparable to that of a titanium implant, but without the metal components.
