Why Zirconia?
Zirconia is a white crystalline oxide of the chemical element Zirconium. Because of its low cost and durability, Zirconia has several advantages that elevate it above porcelain, including:
Stronger
More translucent
Longer-lasting
Bio-compatible
Non-porous
Zirconia Implant Bridges and Dentures
We are proud to offer Zirconia implant-supported bridges and dentures for patients missing several teeth. If you’re considering one of these treatments, you can expect the process to follow these four simple steps:
Consultation
The first step is for you to schedule a consultation with Dotor. During this visit, he will thoroughly examine your oral health and identify the best restorative solution for you. He will also determine if any additional procedures are necessary to prepare you for implant placement.
Pre-Treatment
Some patients will need to undergo supplemental treatments before receiving implants. If your jawbone isn’t dense enough to support implants, a bone grafting or sinus augmentation procedure can get you ready for surgery. During this stage, we’ll also remove any damaged teeth still in your mouth and treat any signs of gum disease or tooth decay.
Implant Surgery
Once Dotor has signed off that your jawbone and gums are healthy, it’s time to place your implants. During this surgery, we’ll place four to six implant fixtures along your jawline. Once the fixtures are secure, we’ll attach a temporary crown, bridge, or denture. This temporary prosthetic will be left in place while your implants heal.
Restoration Design and Creation
As your implants heal and align with your jawbone, our team will design your Dental Zirconia implant bridge or denture. At our practice , we have the technology to construct a 3D model of your smile. This allows Dotor to place digital implants in your virtual smile and anticipate any potential complications.
