Metal-free dental implants are an alternative to traditional titanium implants.

Metal-free dental implants are made from high-quality medical zirconium and are a perfect alternative for the person who may have metal allergies or who is looking for a metal-free option. Metal-free implants are the future of dental implants and have shown great promise for both their biocompatibility and aesthetic features.

The primary reason for using metal-free dental implants is to provide an option for individuals who may have metal allergies or sensitivities. Some people may experience adverse reactions to metals like titanium used in traditional implants, leading to discomfort or complications.

Benefits of metal-free dental implants

Metal-free options for natural aesthetics and tissue health

  • Hypoallergenic: Metal-free implants are made from materials like zirconia or ceramic, which are biocompatible and less likely to cause allergic reactions.
  • Natural aesthetics: These implants can mimic the colour and translucency of natural teeth, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing restoration.
  • Strength and durability: Modern ceramic implants are strong and durable, offering comparable strength to titanium.
  • Tissue friendliness: Ceramic implants may promote healthier gum and bone tissue integration.
  • Non-conductive: They do not conduct temperature as metals do, reducing sensitivity to hot and cold.

Risks of metal-free dental implants

Considerations for metal-free options

  • Limited long-term data: Metal-free implants have not been in use as long as titanium implants, so there may be less long-term data on their performance.
  • Cost: They can be more expensive than traditional implants, potentially making them less accessible to some individuals.
  • Complexity: The surgical procedure for placing metal-free implants may require specific training and equipment.
  • Potential fracture: While ceramic implants are strong, they can still be prone to fracture under extreme forces.

Not a big fan of the dentist – but Fabrizio was amazing. I had an extraction, literally no pain. It made the whole experience calming. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough.

I have been going to this dental practice for quite a few years now, with a gap post-COVID where I tried a different, slightly more local one. Suffice to say, I returned pretty quickly to IQ Dental, where you walk in and feel like you’re in a comforting, holistic clinic rather than a dentist’s waiting room! The service is consistently outstanding, from the welcome you receive from the lovely receptionists to the superb skills of the dentists and hygienists, particularly Antonio, who is amazing. I have recently had a dental implant, all carried out by Antonio and would not hesitate to recommend him. A thorough and highly skilled dentist who makes sure everything is done to the highest standards, with outstanding care and attention. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
