All That You Need to Know About Zirconia Dental Implants (Part 9)
Zirconia implants can be easily cleansed because the restorative margin is at the gum level which can be reached by the toothbrush and floss.
Zirconia implants have a white tooth color. Ceramic materials like zirconia allow the gums to be healthier.
The material doesn’t corrode and it’s ultimately bio-inert which means it won’t cause infection.
One doesn’t need sub-gingival connections with the way zirconia implants are designed. This fact prevents bacterial infection as well.
It’s quite rare for one to get an infection when he (she) has a zirconia implant especially because Ceramics are cleaner than metals.
Next week we will compare titanium and zirconia.
