Dental implants

How is a dental implant made?

A dental implant is made up of three elements:

Titanium endosseous screw: Replaces the natural root of the tooth and is fixed in the bone tissue.

Abutment: It is the connection between the screw and the dental prosthesis.

Connection screw: Joins the abutment to the dental crown.

What does implantology do?

Implantology deals with the replacement of one or more lost teeth by grafting artificial titanium roots into the bone. These artificial roots act as a support to replace missing teeth.The materials used for dental implants are a crucial element in ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of these prostheses. There are different types, each with its specific advantages and disadvantages.Zirconium and metal-ceramic implants are used in our dental clinic.

Zirconium implants

Zirconium dental implants represent an interesting choice for those looking for a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth. The zirconium dental implant differs from others because it is made of ceramic material. These implants have no metallic components and, together with titanium, zirconium is one of the most used materials for these interventions.

Advantages of zirconium dental implants:
Natural aesthetics: Zirconium implants give a shade very similar to that of the surrounding natural teeth. The white ceramic used provides aesthetic results, often better than classic metal implants.
Resistance: Zirconium is a very robust material.
Osseointegration: The degree of osseointegration of zirconium implants is similar or superior to that of titanium.
Non-allergenic: Being well tolerated by the body, it is also suitable for patients with metal allergies.
High resistance to temperature variations.
Durability.
Disadvantages of zirconium dental implants:
Cost: Zirconia implants can be more expensive than other options.
Difficulty in repair: If a problem occurs, repairing zirconium implants can be more complex than other materials.Zirconium dental implants are an excellent choice for replacing missing teeth. Their durability depends on various factors, but in general, they can last many years and even for the patient’s lifetime if they are positioned correctly and cared for properly.
