Dental implants are used to provide a foundation for replacing teeth that are missing. Modern dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. There are two types of dental implants used today, Titanium and Zirconia (ceramic).
Titanium Dental Implants
Titanium is a metal used because of its strength, lightweight and its ability to fuse to the bone. Statistically, they have a 95% success rate and can last for 30 years or more.
Zirconia Dental Implants
Zirconia is a metal-free “ceramic” material that is white in color like natural teeth. These implants offer exceptional aesthetic results with the same function and reliability of conventional, titanium implants.
