Implants are a wonderful solution for patients in the area of Oakbrook Terrace, IL who are seeking tooth replacement. Dental implants are the gold standard because of their longevity and functionality. Patients who are considering replacing missing teeth are often excited to consider the benefits of implants for a variety of reasons. Additionally, Dr. Janet S. Stopka offers zirconium implants and discusses the benefits, cost, and purpose of these restorations.

What is a zirconium implant?

A zirconium implant is like a traditional dental implant, except for the material used to create it. Zirconium is more biocompatible with the body while also more aesthetic due to the color. Dr. Janet S. Stopka has eliminated the need for patients to have any metal within their smiles with any type of restoration, and encourages patients to consider the benefits of implants.

Why choose zirconium implants?

• Cost is comparable to traditional titanium implants
• Implants are biocompatible with the body
• The implants are far more aesthetic than traditional types
• The process of placement is the same
• Functionality cannot be surpassed by any other restoration including bridges and dentures

The process

First, patients must be determined to be appropriate candidates for zirconium dental implants. This includes an examination during which x-rays are taken to check the health of the jawbone. The bone must be sufficient to ensure a successful placement. Placement is done during oral surgery, and then osseointegration must occur to fuse the implant into the jaw. Once complete, the implant can be restored with a crown, denture, or bridge.
