What are Ceramic Dental Implants?
CeraRoot Ceramic Dental Implants offer a holistic and metal-free alternative to traditional implants that integrate seamlessly with the jaw. These durable and hypoallergenic zirconia implants are made of a single piece, which means fewer surgeries and better healing than is experienced with traditional titanium implants.
Biocompatible Materials
Made from biocompatible zirconia, CeraRoot Ceramic Dental Implants are hypoallergenic and friendly to the body, which minimizes the risk of rejection and promotes faster, more predictable healing.
Metal-Free
Ideal for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities, or anyone who simply doesn't want metal in their body, our ceramic implants are completely metal-free, promoting better oral and overall health.
Long-Lasting Oral Health
Ceramic implants are known for their durability and strength, contributing to long-lasting oral health and functionality. With CeraRoot implants, you'll be able to eat your favorite foods and smile with confidence for years to come.
The Dental Implant Treatment Process
The process of getting a ceramic dental implant involves several steps tailored to your unique needs, ensuring the best outcome for your oral health.
Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Schindler. She'll get to know you and the state of your oral and overall health, as well as your long-term and short-term health goals. If she determines that dental implants are the right solution for you, she will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Ceramic Implant Placement
With careful precision and meticulous planning, the implant is placed directly into the jawbone, mimicking the function of a natural tooth root. Over the course of several months, the implant will fuse to the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for your new tooth.
Restoration
After the implant has fused with the surrounding jawbone, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, restoring your missing tooth with a natural-looking and fully functional finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everyone is unique, which means recovery times can vary, but typically it takes a few months for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone through the process of osseointegration. However, most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after surgery, as the initial healing of the gum tissue only takes a few weeks. It is important to follow Dr. Schindler's aftercare instructions and attend any scheduled follow-up visits to ensure your implant is healing properly.
Ceramic implants are nearly as strong as titanium and are an excellent option for patients looking for a metal-free alternative with high durability. While the crown or bridge attached to the implant may need to be replaced eventually, the implant itself can last a lifetime with the proper care and regular check-ups.
Candidates for dental implants should have good overall health, adequate bone in the jaw, and healthy gums. A consultation with Dr. Schindler can determine your suitability for dental implants, and explore certain preparatory procedures or therapies to improve your candidacy for implants.
While they both perform the same function, ceramic implants offer a metal-free alternative to traditional titanium dental implants, ideal for those with allergies or sensitivities to metal, or who simply prefer a more natural material in their oral care solutions. In particular, CeraRoot Ceramic Dental Implants also consist of a single piece, rather than a separate implant and abutment like with traditional options. This means that CeraRoot implants require only one surgical procedure, rather than two, making for a less invasive treatment and expedited healing process. These single-piece implants are also less likely to fracture and have a lower chance of bacteria invading the connection between the implant and the abutment.
