Here at Dentistry by Dr David, we offer Zirconium implants because they offer several benefits as dental implants compared to other materials like titanium. Here are some advantages of zirconium implants:

1. Aesthetics: Zirconium implants have a natural white color, similar to the shade of natural teeth. This makes them highly desirable for those concerned about the appearance of their smile, as they blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

2. Biocompatibility: Zirconium is known for its excellent biocompatibility, meaning it is unlikely to cause adverse reactions or allergies in the body. This makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive gums or allergies to other metals.

3. Strength and Durability: Zirconium implants are exceptionally strong and durable, which contributes to their long-term success. They can withstand normal biting and chewing forces, providing stability and longevity.

4. Corrosion Resistance: Zirconium is highly resistant to corrosion and does not rust. This property ensures the longevity of the implant and prevents any harmful effects on surrounding tissues.

5. Low Thermal Conductivity: Zirconium has a low thermal conductivity, which means it does not conduct heat or cold as quickly as other materials. This can result in a more comfortable experience for patients, especially when consuming hot or cold food and beverages.

6. Reduced Plaque Accumulation: Zirconium implants have a smooth surface that is less likely to attract plaque buildup. This reduces the risk of gum disease and promotes better oral hygiene.

7. Compatibility with MRI: Unlike some metal implants, zirconium implants are compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. This allows patients to undergo necessary diagnostic procedures without concerns.
