A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root with a small post that supports a replacement tooth. At The Holistic Dental Center, we offer non-metal implants made from zirconia, a strong, white, biocompatible ceramic material — a metal-free alternative to traditional titanium implants.
Treatment starts with a consultation and 3D imaging to evaluate your jawbone and plan the implant's placement. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons then places the zirconia implant into the jawbone, where it's given time to heal and bond with the bone. Once healed, a custom crown is attached to complete your new tooth.
Metal-free material. Zirconia implants avoid titanium altogether, which some patients prefer.
One-piece design. Many zirconia implants are made as a single piece, with fewer parts where bacteria could collect.
Natural appearance. The white material blends well with your natural gum tissue and surrounding teeth.
Zirconia implants are designed to be strong and durable for everyday use. Your dentist can help you understand which option may be the best fit for your specific situation.
The area is numbed during placement, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Some soreness afterward is normal and typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
From placement to final crown, the process often takes a few months, since the implant needs time to bond with your jawbone before the crown is attached.
Most patients with adequate jawbone and good overall oral health are candidates, but your dentist will evaluate your specific situation, including imaging, to confirm.
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, implants often last many years, sometimes decades, though individual results vary.
Healing time varies but often takes a few months, during which the implant bonds with your jawbone. Your dentist will monitor your progress along the way. Once healed and the final crown is placed, an implant looks, feels, and functions much like a natural tooth.
