Are zirconia implants metal free?

Are zirconia implants metal free?

The zirconia used in our dental implants is called partially stabilized zirconia, which includes small amounts of yttria, also known as yttrium oxide (Y2O3, also not a metal). So, although there are metal atoms in zirconia, it’s not a metal: it’s as metal-free as your natural teeth.

Can you get dental implants without metal?

A zirconia tooth implant is a non-metal alternative to traditional titanium dental implants. Instead of metal, zirconia offers a ceramic choice that is more natural-looking and just as strong and durable as conventional implants. These implants can be used in the same way as titanium implants .

What are metal free implants made of?

zirconia
Metal-free dental implants are made from zirconia, a strong ceramic material that never corrodes. We use the NobelPearl implants from Nobel BioCare. They are one of the newer options available and are some of the most effective metal-free options we’ve ever seen.

How much does zirconia implant cost?

Cost – The cost to manufacture zirconia (think cubic zirconia jewelry) is higher than titanium so zirconia implants will cost patients more money. The cost to the dentist for a Titanium implant is typically between $300 and $500, whereas Zirconia implants range between $500 and $600.

Are zirconia implants safe?

Zirconia is a safe and valid alternative to Titanium implants, though there are many reasons to consider sticking with titanium implants. It is important to understand the potential benefits, limitations, risks, and other factors associated with zirconia implants before proceeding with treatment.

How much are zirconia implants?

Is zirconia good for implants?

While zirconium is a metal, due to the oxidation, zirconia is a ceramic material. Zirconia is an ideal material for dental implants. It’s bioinert, which means that it will never trigger chemical reactions, migrate to other sites in the body or corrode. That’s why it’s the non-metal alternative to titanium.
