Would you like to learn about your options for replacing a missing tooth with a permanent single tooth implant? Get in touch with us to schedule a free consultation at any of our Dallas area locations.
Several solutions are available, such as dental implants and bridges. When the missing tooth is prominently visible, or to promote better health, a Zirconia single-tooth implant may be the best solution!
Zirconia dental implants are highly sought after for their durability, beauty, and metal-free composition. Please schedule a free consult at FastNewSmile®’s Dallas office to find out if you’re a candidate for zirconia implants.
The two terms are often used interchangeably because Zirconia is a type of ceramic. Thus, all ceramic implants comprise zirconia, making the terms synonymous. While “ceramic” has been more commonly used due to its familiarity, “zirconia” is gradually becoming more prevalent as people hear about the term.
Filling a gap left by a missing tooth can:
If you’re missing multiple teeth or require a full-mouth restoration, zirconia implants can be used to create a permanent, natural-looking smile. At FastNewSmile® in Dallas, our FastNewSmile® procedure ensures same-day placement of implants, minimizing downtime and allowing you to enjoy your new smile immediately.
Benefits of full-mouth zirconia implants include:
When needing to replace lost teeth, individuals typically opt for a dental implant or a traditional bridge. A dental bridge relies on the adjacent teeth to anchor a new tooth in the gap.
In contrast, a single dental implant does not depend on surrounding teeth for support. Instead, a titanium “root” is surgically implanted in the mouth, with the visible part of the tooth attached afterward. The meticulous process of crafting and fitting a dental implant ensures a seamless integration into the patient’s smile.
Want more details on why zirconia implants always beat a dental bridge? Here are some quick facts about our favored dental implant approach:
Ceramic dental implants are hypoallergenic, making them an excellent alternative for individuals prone to sensitivities. In some cases, titanium allergies emerge years after surgery, causing itchiness and inflammation around the implant site, potentially leading to bone loss and implant failure.
With the increasing prevalence of allergies, sensitivities, and immune system issues, careful consideration should be given to the materials used in dental implants. Prolonged exposure to reactive materials may contribute to chronic systemic inflammation and autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s, Lupus, and Periodontal disease, among others. Additionally, removing implants from the jawbone is not a straightforward process. Consequently, the demand for zirconia implant dentists is expected to grow over time.
Zirconia dental implants are ideal for many patients who want to enhance their oral health. Their smooth, non-porous surface reduces plaque and bacterial buildup, minimizing the risk of gum disease and inflammation around the implant site.
While zirconia implants are an excellent choice for many patients, not everyone may qualify. Candidates typically need:

Zirconia dental implants are metal-free, offering a hypoallergenic alternative for individuals with sensitivities to metal. They also provide a more natural appearance, as their white, ceramic-like material blends seamlessly with natural teeth and prevents any dark shading under the gums.
Yes, zirconia implants are extremely durable. They are resistant to cracks, wear, and corrosion, and their strength rivals that of titanium implants. With proper care, zirconia implants can last many years, making them a reliable and long-term solution for tooth replacement.
Caring for zirconia dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential to maintain health and longevity. Their smooth surface helps reduce plaque buildup, making them easier to keep clean and less prone to gum issues.
Most patients in good oral and overall health are candidates for zirconia implants. Adequate jawbone density and healthy gums are critical for successful implant placement. During your consultation, our dental team will assess your specific needs and determine if zirconia implants are the right option for you.
