Choose truly biocompatible ceramic dental implants … a healthy, metal-free alternative to titanium

Traditional tooth replacement methods have filled gaps in the smile. Modern methods replace missing teeth and keep the supportive tissues in the jaw strong. Systems that use dental implants are designed to mimic the structure of natural teeth. The implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. Made from a biocompatible material, the implant naturally integrates into the surrounding supportive bone. Once joined to the bone, it stabilizes the prosthetic tooth (like a natural root). The jawbone gets stimulation from the tooth connected to it (through the implant). So, bone loss is avoided. 

Zirconia is the material of choice for implants at the office of Dentistry for San Diego in Carlsbad, California. Specifically, Dr. Fallah places ceramic (metal-free) implants made by Swiss Dental Solutions. SDS is a pioneer in ceramic implant solutions that are biological and immunological. These basic tenets align well with our fundamental principle of providing holistic dental care that supports “whole health” and the “whole self.”

Other dentists in our corner of the North County and beyond place implants made from metal: titanium. Zirconia actually presents a more biocompatible alternative to conventional titanium implants. The zirconia oxide material is designed to replicate the characteristics of natural tissues, enamel, and bone. Due to this feature, patients have peace of mind that their comfort and satisfaction with zirconia implants will be sustained. And their experience with implant-supported prosthetics will remain free of adverse metals-related reactions. Our patients also have confidence in our use of biocompatibility testing. We test that the material will be healthy and get “along well with living tissues” before placing it in your mouth!

Additional benefits of our genuinely biological and holistic approach to dental implants include:

• The implant looks like the natural tooth structure! Unlike implants made from metal, there is no gray, black, or otherwise dark color peeking through even thin or receding gums. All others see are your new and improved teeth. 
• All-ceramic implants by SDS are as strong as they are stunning. Our zirconia implants are designed to last a lifetime (with proper home hygiene and professional care). They are highly durable and built to withstand the significant mechanical forces placed on them from day-to-day behaviors and functions.
• Ceramics do not “wear” or corrode like metals. Furthermore, the use of zirconia implants minimizes risks such as inflammation. Harmful bacteria tend not to adhere as well to smooth non-metals like zirconia. 
• Due to the highly biocompatible and biomimetic nature of zirconia implants, optimal and fast healing following implants placement is encouraged. The gums tend to attach quickly to ceramic materials. 

We could go on and on about the advantages of all-ceramic implants at our office in Carlsbad, CA. However, we urge you to experience the differences for yourself. Call (760) 730-1600 today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Fallah. Depending on your needs, Dr. Fallah may even recommend ozone and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to support optimal healing after removing failing teeth and to best prepare your jawbone for implant placement.
