When you lose a tooth, it’s important to get a dental implant to replace it. While titanium implants are traditional (they have been in use since the 1960s; are used for many different medical procedures, and cells adapt well to it), there is a newer material for implants known as zirconia. Dr. Maddahi offers zirconia ceramic implants in Beverly Hills for patients seeking metal-free dental implants.
Zirconia is a ceramic material that makes an excellent option for dental implants due to its more natural appearance (white in color as opposed to gray); biocompatibility (most cells, bone, and tissue adapt very quickly to it), and bioinert nature (it won’t trigger a chemical reaction, migrate to other sites in the body, or corrode).
