What Are CeraRoot Dental Implants?
CeraRoot ceramic dental implants are a biocompatible, holistic treatment option. The process produces a natural-looking mouth after tooth loss.
Ceramic dental implants have the same benefits as traditional dental implants. They look real and they are resistant to corrosion. However, ceramic does not trigger metal allergies. Ultra-strong ceramic implants support a stable oral foundation and optimal function of the bite and jaw.
Ceramic implants provide long-lasting results that look and feel like natural teeth. The success of CeraRoot ceramic implants is because of the implant’s ability to withstand masticatory system forces. CeraRoot zirconia implants mimic the contours and bioinert composition of natural human teeth and simulate natural bite function.
The ceramic material integrates entirely into the jaw bone creating a stable bond. The zirconia material is resistant to corrosion and is less sensitive to changes in temperature versus titanium dental implants.
Zirconia 100% ceramic implants are white for a more aesthetic result. Their white color is ideal for older patients or patients with translucent or receding gum lines. You will not have to worry about gum discoloration either.
Dental Implants For Patients With Titanium Allergy
Ceramic dental implants make it possible for patients with allergies or compromised immune systems to replace missing teeth. CeraRoot zirconia implants are hypoallergenic and safe for patients with sensitivity or allergies.
For some patients, sensitivity to metal only becomes apparent after the placement of a metal implant. Patients may experience itchy gums, irritation, or a failure of the metal implant leaving patients susceptible to bone loss.
Patients with allergies or compromised immune systems may consider a MELISA test prior to choosing an implant system.
“Ceramic Implants offer an alternative esthetic solution to treat patients with specific needs. Many patients are increasingly health conscious and express their explicit wish for a metal-free alternative. Ceramic Implants are a great solution here and serve the foundation for a beautiful, healthy new smile.”
—Dr. Steve Fountain
Holistic Solutions for Missing Teeth
CeraRoot dental implants are an ideal option for patients who adhere to holistic lifestyle practices. CeraRoot ceramic implants are bioinert and do not prevent the movement of energy throughout the body.
The one-piece design of the ceramic implant helps reduce the build-up of oral bacteria that can occur with the slight and gradual movement of metal implants. Ceramic implants prevent the release of toxins and bacteria into the body helping to prevent inflammation around the implant.
They’re becoming more common as their strength and aesthetic benefits become more obvious. Ceramic CeraRoot dental implants help build a stable oral foundation for optimal function, overall health, and a beautiful smile.
The CeraRoot Dental Implant Process
Our dentists will recommend CeraRoot implants for patients who have just recently lost their teeth. We place these implants during the same appointment as your tooth extraction(s).
The one-stage placement of the dental implants minimizes discomfort and maximizes the success of the dental implant. Sufficient bone and healthy gums are essential at the implant site for a secure and lasting result.
Claremont Dental Institute provides thorough consultations, medical history evaluations, and dental health exams to determine which implant procedure will provide optimal results. We handle all phases of treatment in-house from the comfort of our Claremont, CA, dental office.
Our team of dentists works cooperatively to provide comprehensive dentistry for missing tooth replacement under one roof.
CeraRoot ceramic implants provide a shorter implant process than metal implants. Metal implants require separate visits for each piece of the restoration. CeraRoot options are more streamlined and help reduce the number of necessary visits.
When compared to traditional dental implants, patients enjoy a shorter implant process. Along with the potential for a significant increase in comfort and function afterward. Nothing matches the biocompatibility and the strength of the zirconia implant.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do ceramic implants last?
On average, ceramic dental implants can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. The lifespan of the implants can vary based on the patient’s diet, oral care routine, and lifestyle habits. Those who take good care of their teeth and gums, avoid harmful habits like smoking, and maintain regular dental visits may see their ceramic implants last even longer.
Why use ceramic dental implants?
Ceramic dental implants are a great choice for many reasons. They significantly reduce the concern of bacteria and plaque buildup on the implant surface. This makes it easier to keep your gums healthy. Ceramic implants are also more biocompatible, which means they’re less likely to cause an allergic reaction or irritation.
Additionally, they are naturally white, providing a more natural look, and they don’t interfere with MRI scans, unlike metal implants. Gum recession and swelling are also less common with ceramic dental prosthetics, making them a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing option.
What is one of the disadvantages of ceramic dental implants?
One disadvantage of ceramic dental implants is that they are not as flexible as other types of dental implants, such as titanium. While ceramic is strong, it is more prone to cracking or chipping under extreme pressure. However, they are still as strong as your natural tooth enamel, and this risk is relatively low. Avoid excessive force, like grinding your teeth, which could increase the risk of damage.
Are ceramic implants safer than titanium implants?
While both ceramic and titanium implants are safe and effective, ceramic implants are a safer option for some patients. This is mainly because ceramic implants are made from materials that are less likely to cause allergic reactions or sensitivities, unlike titanium. For patients with metal allergies or sensitivities, ceramic implants may be a better option.
Do ceramic implants look more natural?
Yes, ceramic dental implants often look more natural than metal implants. Ceramic is white and matches the color of your natural teeth, making it ideal for front teeth. Titanium implants, while strong, have a metallic color that may show through the gums, especially if your gums recede. This makes ceramic implants a more aesthetic option for many patients.
Are ceramic implants suitable for everyone?
Ceramic implants may not be the best option for everyone. People with certain health conditions, like severe bone loss or chronic gum disease, may not be good candidates for ceramic implants. Your dentist or oral surgeon will evaluate your overall oral health and discuss the best options for your situation. In some cases, a bone graft or other treatments might be needed to make the area suitable for an implant.
How do I care for ceramic dental implants?
Taking care of ceramic dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly are important to keep your implants clean and healthy. Avoiding hard foods and habits like grinding or clenching your teeth will also help protect your implants. It’s essential to follow your dentist’s instructions for the best long-term care.
