Frequently asked questions
What does 'metal-free dental implant' actually mean?+
It means the implant post placed in the jawbone โ not just the visible crown โ is made from a ceramic material like zirconia instead of titanium.
Are metal-free implants right for everyone?+
No single implant material is right for every patient. Bone density, bite forces, gum biotype, and the location of the missing tooth all factor into whether zirconia, titanium, or another approach is most appropriate.
