What Are Zirconia Dental Implants?

However, at Sacramento Natural Dentistry, we now offer a metal-free option! Zirconia is a tooth-colored ceramic material that is an excellent alternative to titanium metal implants.

Ask our dentist about the right technique to floss an implant! Avoid damaging habits such as smoking. Smoking can stain your zirconia implant affecting the appearance.
