About This Treatment

Zirconia dental implants offer a metal-free, biocompatible alternative to titanium implants, ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or those seeking the most aesthetic result. Leading Chinese implant centers now offer premium zirconia systems from Straumann and CeraRoot with excellent long-term success rates. The white color of zirconia prevents any grey shadowing through thin gum tissue, providing superior aesthetics at significantly lower costs than Western markets.
