Among dental professionals, it is universally acknowledged that dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth. However, most practices only provide implants that are made of a titanium alloy. Titanium is very strong and offers some other benefits, but it does have its drawbacks. That is why holistic dentists often recommend zirconia dental implants<\/a> as a safe and biocompatible alternative. What are zirconia implants, and what benefits do they come with?
