Ceramic Implants –The Natural, Metal-Free Solution for a Healthy Smile
Dear Patients,
The desire for natural, healthy and aesthetically pleasing dental prostheses is more important today than ever before. Ceramic implants made of zirconium dioxide (zirconium) are a highly aesthetic, safe and biocompatible alternative to conventional titanium implants, as they are metal-free.
What exactly are ceramic implants?
What exactly are ceramic implants?
Zirconium dioxide is a particularly stable, biocompatible and bioinert material that forms a close bond with the jawbone. This property ensures long-term stability, health and natural integration into the surrounding tissue. With careful planning and optimal care, ceramic implants can last a lifetime.
One-piece and two-piece systems
Ceramic implants are available as both one-piece and two-piece systems. When used correctly, they achieve a success rate comparable to that of titanium implants. The following factors are crucial for the success of the treatment:
Material strength and appropriate implant design
A specialized surface texture to promote bone attachment
Precise planning considering bone quality
Reliable connection in two-piece systems
Metal-free, long-term stable prosthetic restoration
Biocompatibility and safety
Ceramic implants are made from TZP (Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal) or ATZ (Alumina Toughened Zirconia). These materials do not generate tension, corrosion or electrical currents in the body. This virtually eliminates the risk of allergies or intolerances. These materials have proven themselves over many years in oral surgery, orthopedics and neurosurgery and offer maximum safety and excellent biological compatibility.
Treatment procedure
Implantation is planned individually, often with the aid of state-of-the-art 3D diagnostics and navigation templates.
A typical treatment process includes:
- 1. Local anesthesia
- 2. Gentle exposure of the gum tissue
- 3. Preparation of the implant site
- 4. Placement of the implant with primary stability
- 5. Bone augmentation if necessary
- 6. Closure and healing phase (3–6 months)
Our structured treatment protocol accompanies you before, during and after the procedure to ensure optimal healing and long-term success.
Who are ceramic implants suitable for?
Ceramic implants are ideal for:
Single-tooth replacements or small gaps
Patients seeking the highest level of aesthetics
Fixed full-arch restorations (“third teeth”)
Chronic or inflammatory health conditions
A healthy, inflammation-free and stable bone structure is essential to ensure the implant’s long-term success and stability.
