Zirconia implants are incredibly strong but brittle,💪 this is the reason they cannot replace titanium.🔁

While zirconia implants are an excellent alternative for patients with metal allergies, they aren't as durable as traditional implants. 🪙

Traditional dental implants are made of titanium - the tough material used for decades.💪 This strong metal has proven to be a reliable and durable option for patients seeking a long-term solution for missing teeth. 🔝

With its ability to integrate with the jawbone and impressive strength, it's no wonder why traditional implants have a high success rate and are a reliable choice for many patients. 🦷

However, it's essential to communicate with your patient to guide them which type of implant is suitable for them.🧑‍⚕️ For more information and frequently asked questions, visit our website!💻

The few times I been asked about zirconia implants, I say that zirconia is great for crowns and it’s tough to withstand the pressure of chewing, but because a screw is going into a hole, it’s a fracture risk and for that reason I only use it on patients with known titanium allergy until the technology advances more to address this risk. 😉 zirconia is a great material when used in the appropriate situation.
