What Is a Zirconia Implant Bridge?

A zirconia implant bridge is a custom-made, full-arch restoration made from zirconium oxide, a ceramic material known for its incredible strength and lifelike appearance. This type of bridge is supported by dental implants, which are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implants are healed and stable, the zirconia bridge is attached, creating a permanent set of teeth that looks and feels natural.

 

What Is Zirconia And Why Is It Used?

Zirconia is 100% biocompatible with the human body and has a high resistance to chewing, so it won’t fracture or stain like many other materials. Zirconia is incredibly dense and smooth, so it won’t cause wear on opposing natural teeth or porcelain. Zirconia is white, so it can be colored and glazed to look like real teeth.

The Teeth Next Day® Zirconia Implant Bridge is specially fabricated for Dr. Royal by our award-winning dental lab. Each zirconia bridge is custom-designed, and CAD/CAM is milled out of solid white zirconia. Fabrication is to the highest standards for precision, fit, long-term strength, and a beautiful appearance.

It’s then artistically colored and refined by the hands of our master ceramists to give it lifelike translucency, color, and natural beauty. The final result is truly amazing, using the most advanced technology that’s available in dentistry today. This is the future of dentistry!

Benefits of Zirconia Implant Bridges

  • Durability and Strength

    Zirconia is incredibly resilient and withstands high levels of pressure, making it ideal for patients looking for a long-lasting, full-arch solution. Unlike acrylic and porcelain materials, zirconia resists chips, cracks, and wear, making it an optimal choice for those seeking durability.

  • Natural Aesthetics

    The zirconia material is translucent, which allows it to mimic the natural appearance of enamel more closely than other materials. This natural finish creates a beautiful smile that doesn’t look artificial, providing a significant confidence boost.

  • Hypoallergenic and Biocompatible

    Zirconia is a biocompatible material, meaning it’s well-tolerated by the body and unlikely to cause adverse reactions. This hypoallergenic characteristic makes zirconia implant bridges an excellent choice for patients sensitive to metals or prone to allergies.

  • Stability and Functionality

    With a zirconia implant bridge, patients can enjoy restored chewing and speaking functions, similar to what natural teeth offer. The bridge is securely anchored to the dental implants, preventing shifting, sliding, or discomfort that can often occur with traditional dentures.

  • Easy Maintenance

    Unlike removable dentures, zirconia bridges are permanently fixed, eliminating the need for removal. Routine brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are generally all that’s required for proper maintenance, making it a convenient and low-maintenance solution.

The Zirconia Implant Bridge Procedure at PGA Dentistry

Getting a zirconia implant bridge involves several steps and a collaborative effort between our highly skilled team of dental professionals. Here’s what patients can expect from the process:
Extracted Teeth
  1. Consultation and Examination: During the initial consultation, our Vero Beach implant dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. We use advanced imaging technology to assess bone density and determine the best implant placement for maximum stability.
  2. Dental Implant Placement: Once the treatment plan is finalized, our dental implant provider will place the dental implants in the jawbone. These titanium posts act as artificial roots and provide a solid foundation for the bridge. The number of implants needed depends on each patient’s specific case, typically ranging from four to six implants per arch.
  3. Attaching the Zirconia Implant Bridge: We take detailed impressions to create your custom zirconia bridge. This bridge is precisely crafted to fit comfortably and securely onto the implants. After any final adjustments, the bridge is permanently attached, completing your new smile.
  4. Follow-Up and Maintenance: We’ll provide guidance on caring for your zirconia fixed bridge, including cleaning techniques and the importance of routine dental check-ups to ensure long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a zirconia implant bridge last?

    With proper care, a zirconia implant bridge can last 20 years or more. The implants themselves can last a lifetime if maintained correctly.

  • Can I get a zirconia implant bridge if I have some remaining natural teeth?

    Each case is unique, and our team can evaluate if your remaining teeth can be incorporated into your new smile or if a full-arch restoration is recommended.

  • What is the difference between zirconia and titanium implants?

    Zirconia is used for the dental bridge itself, while titanium is commonly used for the implants that anchor the bridge. Both are biocompatible materials, with zirconia offering superior aesthetics.
