As dental technology advances, the options for tooth replacement become more varied. One such advancement is the use of ceramic dental implants.
Dr. Tarek Badawy of WestLake Dental Care recently had the opportunity to use the Zeramex ceramic dental implant for his patient a year ago, and was thoroughly impressed with the results.
In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of ceramic dental implants, their advantages over titanium implants in the anterior part of the teeth, and why Zeramex and Zeramex XT are the top choice for missing teeth.
“The Gums Really do Love Ceramic”
Dr. Tarek Badawy was impressed with the Zeramex ceramic dental implant because he found that the gums grew around it, which is unusual for traditional titanium implants. According to Dr. Badawy, “The gums really do love ceramic.” They just grow around it and the body just accepts it better.
The Zeramex XT implant is made of zirconia, a material that is metal-free, biocompatible and aesthetically pleasing because of its white color. It is a perfect alternative for patients who are allergic to metals or for those who are looking for a more natural-looking solution.
Why Ceramic Implants are Better in the Anterior Part of the Teeth
The anterior part of the teeth is the most visible and aesthetically important part of the mouth. Therefore, it is important to choose the right material for dental implants that will be placed in this area. Ceramic dental implants have several advantages over traditional titanium implants in the anterior part of the teeth:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Ceramic dental implants are white, which means they blend in naturally with the surrounding teeth. They do not have the metallic appearance that titanium implants have, making them a better choice for patients who are concerned about the appearance of their dental work.
- Biocompatibility: Ceramic dental implants are made of zirconia, a biocompatible material that is less likely to cause an inflammatory reaction in the body. This means that patients are less likely to experience complications like peri-implantitis.
- Strength: Ceramic dental implants are strong and durable. They can withstand the pressure and forces of biting and chewing, making them a reliable choice for tooth replacement.
- Non-Conductive: Unlike titanium implants, ceramic implants are non-conductive, which means they do not conduct heat or electricity. This can be important for patients who have metal sensitivities.
Zeramex and Zeramex XT: The Top Choice for Missing Teeth
In conclusion, ceramic dental implants are a groundbreaking substitute for titanium implants, providing various advantages for the anterior part of the teeth such as natural look, biocompatibility, durability, and non-conductivity. Zeramex and Zeramex XT are highly recommended as the leading option for missing teeth due to their high-quality zirconia composition and proven success rate. With Dr. Tarek Badawy’s observation of the gums growing around ceramic, it is expected that more dentists and implantologists will recognize the benefits of using ceramic dental implants.
