One of the reasons that a patient may wish to be fit with a Zirconia dental implant is an aesthetical one. For patients that have experienced gum recession or have thin gums, titanium implants can sometimes produce a gray color in the gums where they have been implanted. Because Zirconia is white and not a metal, it can provide a more natural look in many cases. Another reason patients request Zirconia dental implants is because it is a simpler placement procedure. Zirconia implants are designed to be one piece, so there is no additional surgery needed to place an abutment. In fact, our dental implant doctor in Los Angeles can usually place Zirconia implants immediately following a tooth extraction. Some patients also have metal allergies, making titanium implants a poor tooth replacement choice for them, whereas Zirconia is hypoallergenic.
