Like the traditional titanium alternative, zirconia promotes the growth of bone tissue. Over the course of four to eight months, the jawbone gradually fuses together with the implant post to offer the utmost in security for the dental crown, bridge, or denture that is affixed on top of the implant posts. Zirconia dental implants are one-piece, meaning the crown is already attached to the implant post upon implantation. This type of dental implant is completely metal-free, making it a wonderful option for patients with sensitivities to metal or those who simply wish for a solution that does not contain metals. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Benefits of Biocompatible Dental Implants<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">There are a number of advantages to be enjoyed with zirconia dental implants.
