Ceramic or Titanium Implants?

The case for Ceramic Implants:

• Biocompatible and metal free.
• White coloured resembling natural teeth and providing better aesthetic results.
• Placed at gum level so they are better preserved.
• Plaque has a very low tendency to adhere on zirconia.
• Very low possibility to cause periimplantitis when properly brushed and cleaned.
• Cannot oxidize or corrode.
• More expensive than titanium implants.
• Studies and research not as extensive as for titanium implants.

Highly successful and proven titanium implants:

• Success rate is high with over 30 years of experience and with extensive studies and research.
• Titanium can oxidize or corrode.
• Grey colouring is possible.
• High rates of periimplantitis, because bacteria attach easier on metal surfaces and are more difficult to clean.
• Autoimmune diseases can possibly be triggered from titanium.
• Cheaper than ceramic.
