Zirconia is a type of ceramic that is already well established in the medical and dental industries with a long history of successful applications. Because zirconia is incredibly strong, the dental implants made from it have a lower risk of fracture or failure when compared to other materials. Milder treatments are also possible with zirconia dental implants because these implants do not require the patient to have a larger foundation of metal.
Since zirconia is very strong and highly biocompatible, dental implants made from it are able to preserving the structures of the jawbone and other surrounding teeth. This is because zirconia implants don't require a large amount of surrounding bone to be drilled out. In addition, zirconia implants are able to fuse with the patient’s jawbone faster than other materials, which can speed the healing process and give the patient the ability to eat and bite down sooner.
