implant materials

Zirconia has a rich history of use in dentistry, and its evolution throughout the years has led to some of the most important advancements in treatments. 

It is the 21st century, and your patients expect modern and convenient solutions to their dental problems. Most of your patients can research treatments on their phones before they take a seat in the dentist’s chair – so you need to meet their standards.

Fewer treatments have altered restorative dentistry more than dental implants - particularly modern implants. In the past, a patient looking to replace a full upper or lower arch of teeth was limited to removable dentures or fragile ceramic implants. Now, with the advancements made in zirconia implants and oral surgery, replacing multiple teeth has never been simpler.

It wasn’t too long ago that the most common solution to missing teeth was a set of removable dentures. The image of a set of artificial teeth and gums sitting in a glass of water at night, although familiar to all of us, is becoming more and more a thing of the past.

Procedures and treatments have certainly come a long way in the field of restorative dentistry. Dentists now can place full-arch dental implants, which are one of the most advanced and reliable ways to restore an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. However, as is the case with any dental tool, implant-supported dental bridges are only as effective as the material they’re made from.
