Zirconia implants for smiles that sparkle, exude health, beauty, confidence, and pride

At Dentistry for San Diego, we not only fill gaps in your smile where teeth used to be, but we also serve Carlsbad, California, and the surrounding area with unique and innovative capabilities and expertise designed to transform and rejuvenate our valued patients’ facial appearance. And we support these transformations with techniques and materials that align with the basic biological and holistic principles that define our practice.

Why we use metal-free zirconia dental implants 

At other dentists’ offices, implants may be placed in the jawbone that are made from a metal: titanium. While titanium is lightweight and strong, it is not appropriate for everyone, including those sensitive to metals or concerned about allergic reactions to the material. 

Our talented dentist, Dr. Al A. Fallah, practices holistic or biologically friendly dental care. Dr. Fallah has carefully selected only the safest, most attractive, and most durable materials to rebuild tooth structure or an entire tooth, starting with its root (the implant itself). Zirconia is a great fit with our office’s many other high-quality materials. 

A high-performance type of ceramic, it is well-suited to replace teeth among patients with metal sensitivities or allergies. He also conducts reactivity testing to ensure that the materials placed in your mouth promote your oral and overall health now and well into the future.

Such ceramics also have a high degree of compatibility with surrounding natural tissues. This feature helps to minimize the risk of early implant failures by encouraging healing or integration of the bone in the jaw with the implant. Biocompatible zirconia furthermore does not irritate the gums and other living tissues. 

Before and after results of actual patients treated in our practice.

Dr. Fallah restored V.K.’s mouth with a new set of Implants
This patient had ill-fitting dentures and was experiencing jaw pain and back pain. He was given dentures that appear to fit his face like natural teeth. His bite was repaired and, in order to match his face, leveled. Basically with a Non-Invasive Dental Face Lift – this patient’s lips were evened and face slightly elongated. This patient is very happy with his dental face lift makeover, his new smile and reports being completely pain free.

Of course, our patients expect and deserve replacement teeth that are indistinguishable in the smile from their natural neighbors. Zirconia helps us uphold the cosmetic standards that our patients expect from our restorative dentistry services because it is white – just like natural teeth! 

However, as a metal, titanium appears gray or silver. Zirconia’s tooth-colored hue helps to sustain an attractive appearance that exudes confidence. The gums can thin with time, and the darker-colored titanium may peek through and look unnatural. With good oral care and regular visits to Dentistry for San Diego in Carlsbad, CA, your zirconia implant-supported prosthetic teeth can look, feel, and function as well as the day you first showed them off.
