CERAROOT CERAMIC IMPLANTS

At Willow Dental, we offer Ceraroot Ceramic Implants as part of our cosmetic dentistry services so that you can improve the appearance of your teeth and smile.

Thanks to the development of new dental technology implant procedures using modern all-ceramic, which are both incredibly strong and long-lasting as well as natural-looking.

Ceraroot implants are placed on the same level as your gums and are biocompatible, meaning they will not discolor your gums or suffer from long-term erosion like metal implants. By connecting directly to your gums, it has been proven that Ceraroot implants are the cleanest way to implant new teeth and are better for the health of your bones and gums. With traditional metal implants, over time corrosion causes discoloration of your gums, giving them a grey-ish purple color. Ceraroot implants don’t have this problem because they are completely metal-free.

In addition to Ceraroot Ceramic Implants, we offer a number of other dentistry services, including:

• Dental implants
• Invisalign and braces
• Cosmetic dentistry
• General/family dentistry
• TMJ treatments
• Sedation dentistry
• Periodontal therapy
• Dentures
• Sleep apnea appliances

At Willow Dental, we understand that patients are looking for premium dental services at an affordable price. With dental benefits on the decline, patients are left to pay their dental bill almost entirely out of pocket. We believe everyone is entitled to outstanding dental care, which is why we offer affordable, high-quality dental services and dental savings packages.

A ceramic dental implant is a type of dental implant made from zirconia (zirconium dioxide)—a strong, biocompatible, and non-metallic material. It’s an alternative to the more common titanium implants, and it’s growing in popularity for patients who are looking for a metal-free option.

🦷 What Is a Ceramic Dental Implant?

Typically made of zirconia, which is white in color and resembles natural tooth roots.

It can be one-piece (implant + abutment fused) or two-piece (like titanium systems).

Fully biocompatible, resistant to corrosion, and non-conductive (no electrical charge).

🔍 Uses of Ceramic Dental Implants

Just like titanium implants, ceramic implants are used to:

Replace missing teeth (single tooth, bridges, or full-arch reconstructions)

Support dentures or fixed prosthetics

Help preserve jawbone health after tooth loss (prevents bone resorption)

✅ Advantages

Metal-Free / Hypoallergenic

Ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or allergies, or those who prefer holistic or biocompatible treatments.

Aesthetics

The white color blends better with gum tissue, especially helpful in the esthetic zone (front teeth).

No risk of gray metal showing through thin or receding gums.

Low Plaque Affinity

Zirconia is smooth and resists plaque buildup better than some metal surfaces.

Corrosion-Resistant & Non-Conductive

No galvanic reactions (like metal-on-metal electrical currents in the mouth)

⚠️ Limitations

Less Flexibility in Placement

One-piece designs make angle corrections harder.

Two-piece designs exist now but are newer and less common.

More Technique Sensitive

Requires very precise placement since it’s not as forgiving as titanium.

Less Long-Term Data

While promising, ceramic implants have less long-term clinical data compared to titanium (which has decades of success behind it).

Brittle Under Certain Conditions

Zirconia is strong but can be more brittle than titanium, especially in cases of heavy bite forces or parafunction (like grinding).

🧠 Bottom Line

Ceramic implants are a great option for:

Aesthetics-focused patients

Metal-free / holistic dental care seekers

Gum-sensitive or metal-sensitive individuals

Still, they’re not ideal for every case, especially in full-arch or complex reconstructions—yet.
