What is SDS Dental Implants?

SDS implants are a restoration option for missing teeth. While other options such as dentures sit on top of the gum tissue, dental implants physically replace the missing tooth root making the most stable and durable restoration available.

The importance of Zirconia dental implants

Back in the 1960s, dentists began using titanium dental implants after seeing the success of the material in other medical fields such as orthopedics. However, over time, many dental providers began to study the negative effects of titanium on the body, particularly how the material releases titanium oxide particles into the soft tissue, bone, and blood. The effects of this were often visible as the implant turned the gum tissue gray.

Zirconia (short for zirconium oxide) is a ceramic material that contains no metal, does not corrode, and is durable for long periods of time. Zirconia is very compatible with the human body and began being used in hip replacements before its introduction into dentistry.

The Zirconia Implant Process

The process for receiving Zirconia dental implants is very similar to that of titanium implants. It begins with an examination of the bone and digital images to plan outplacement of the implants. During the first procedure, the Zirconia implants are placed into the jawbone in the places that you are missing teeth. Depending on the type of implant, the abutment may already be attached to the implant. The area is then closed and given time to heal. During this healing process, the bone fuses around the implant to create a strong foundation for the final restoration. One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is that they stimulate the jawbone, preventing future deterioration. In addition, the zirconium oxide stimulates the growth of soft tissue to improve healing.

Once the area is healed, the replacement tooth can be attached to the abutment. This tooth will be custom fabricated with high-quality materials to blend in naturally in the smile.
