THE MAGIC OF METAL-FREE IMPLANTS

with Dr. Castaneda At Urbandale Smiles
Discover how our high-quality metal-free Dental Implants can give you a natural-looking smile fitted and adapted to your unique needs.

WHAT ARE METAL-FREE IMPLANTS?

At Urbandale Smiles, we offer Zirconia Dental Implants, a completely metal-free solution for missing teeth.

Despite being metal-free the fitting procedure is no different to titanium implants and they boast high success rates and last for decades due to their unique biocompatibility factor.

It is an ideal option for patients who may be allergic to metals whilst the materials used in Zirconia implants means they can be treated almost like natural teeth and shaped to match the patient’s other teeth.

Utilizing Swiss Dental Solutions’ biocompatible Zirconia implants, we can provide a high-performance implant free of surface impurities through our CleanImplant Certification ensuring a smoother and more effective fit with less chance of inflammation.

ADVANTAGES OF ZIRCONIA IMPLANTS

  • Compatible

    Zirconia’s ceramic-like material means it is more compatible with the body’s tissue and offers rapid healing.

  • Aesthetically pleasing
    Zirconia eliminates the risk of seeing the dark metal around the gum line. The ceramic material is easily colored to match the patient’s natural tooth.
  • Corrosion Resistant
    Zirconia retains less plaque and calculus than titanium implants so in turn they are easier to maintain and hold up against wear and tear well.
  • Hypoallergenic
    these are a great alternative for patients who have allergies or sensitivities to metal or concerns about metal in their mouth.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ZIRCONIA IMPLANTS?

Successful Zirconia implants hinge on the patient’s Vitamin D levels as this plays a crucial role in the healing process of the bone. A simple test is necessary before we proceed, and we also advise patients against smoking as this can also affect healing.

The implants are just like regular teeth and as such need to be cleaned and maintained in the same way. We provide aftercare including nutritional and supplement advice and we offer a specialized program called THREE to support our implant patients.
