What are the Types of Implants?

If you have lost a tooth, you will of course research the most suitable option for you when having an implant. Unlike any other treatment, there is a structure that comes into contact with the bone that mimics the root of the tooth. Nowadays, there are several options when choosing materials for implant applications.

Ceramic and Titanium Implants

Titanium Dental Implants

Titanium has been used for decades to rebuild the root of a tooth. Since the 1960s, it has been the material of choice because of its durability and ability to integrate well with bone. A titanium implant consists of three parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the restoration. First, the post is surgically placed in the jawbone. Once the bone has healed, an abutment is added to it to anchor your custom restoration. The implant portion is placed in the jaw to provide a strong bond to stabilize your new tooth.

Titanium is generally more affordable and more resistant to cracks and breaks than ceramic, so it can be a cost-effective solution.

Ceramic Dental Implants

Ceramic implants are relatively new. They have only been around in the US since 2009, but have been commonplace in European countries for much longer. They are made of only one piece, so they require more precision when placing them. Ceramic posts are often recommended for patients with metal sensitivity.
Ceramic implants are developing nowadays

One Piece Ceramic Implants

In other words, implants made entirely of ceramic and zirconium.

Ceramic Implants on Titanium

Ceramic implants are FDA approved and are designed to last for many years. While they may be more costly than titanium, they offer a more natural appearance because there will be no dark circle near the gum line.

Which Dental Implant Material Is Best?

Titanium implants are more affordable and can last 20 years or more with proper care. Although they are often the preferred choice, ceramic posts have the advantage of being metal-free and equally durable. Ceramics are also biocompatible to match your body’s overall health.

Why Are Ceramic Implants Preferred Today?

Until now, dentists have mainly preferred titanium implants.
As we explained at the beginning of our article, people want to grow old but not grow old.
As a result of the desire to stay young and healthy, holistic approaches and treatment methods are preferred in combating some systemic diseases and autoimmune diseases.

When Are Ceramic Implants First Applied?

In the years when implants were first discovered, ceramic implants were used, but some PROBLEMS were experienced with these applications, and these PROBLEMS were generally related to the breakage of the implant.
For this reason, zirconium implants, which contain both white and hard durable material, have become popular methods. There are some advantages and disadvantages in this application.

The aim of all this is to create a ceramic and bone connection in the area that comes into contact with the body. In other words, to ensure biocompatibility.

What has changed with the production of metal-on-ceramic implants?

Ceramic surface implants, which provide the biocompatibility of ceramic with that of metal, have provided a specific area of ​​use for the sector and for individuals with immune system diseases in a holistic approach.

In holistic health applications, the most important issue in terms of health is personalized solutions.

For this reason, the treatment to restore or maintain the person's health is decided together with the doctor, that is, the author here is the doctor.
As dentists, we offer a range of our own methods in terms of materials and treatment methods when offering treatment options to our patients.
In this holistic approach, the patient's body structure, allergies and health history up to that day are as important as their wishes. The materials to be used for the person are selected with the guidance of all these.
In this selection, it is important that the materials to be used develop with technology and that this development is based on evidence. For this reason, the technological development of ceramic implants is quite exciting.
As with all implant systems, technological developments in ceramic implants lead us to make conscious choices regarding the range we offer to our patients.

How is a Titanium Inside and Ceramic Outside Implant Produced?

In holistic health applications, the most important issue in terms of health is personalized solutions.
In other words, this part must be biocompatible. In this sense, the implants developed contain gold in their neck parts, that is, the parts connected to the gum.
Think about it, the inside of an implant is made of titanium and it has a very strong structure, that is, the part that connects the bone and the tooth is ceramic and the part that connects the gum is gold, that is, the whole system has been developed according to tissue compatibility.

What is the Contribution of Ceramic Implants to the Dentist?

Technological development should facilitate human life and be functional, that is, it should provide the dentist with ease of application, durability and safe use.
For our patients, technology should also be in line with the body's demands, and for individuals who want to maintain their general health as they age, materials that are compatible with this logic should be produced and offered for use.
Likewise, the implant to be used by our business partners, that is, our technicians, should provide ease of use in terms of technology.
