There are many causes of tooth loss. Losing teeth is not only unsightly but causes many consequences as well as affecting oral and physical health. Therefore, choosing dental implants is the perfect solution. Let’s join My Auris dentistry to learn aboutmetal-free porcelain dental implants that are popular with many people in the following article.
How to get metal-free ceramic dental implants?
Metal-free ceramic dental implants are a method of restoring lost teeth in the jaw. In the past, removable dentures and porcelain bridges were the most commonly mentioned dental implant methods. However, these two methods do not solve some oral health problems as well as chewing ability.
Today, dental implants with modern technology and techniques not only bring high aesthetics but also restore optimal chewing and many maximum benefits for oral health. Therefore, currently, dental implants are the most perfect method and also the only method to prevent jaw bone loss due to tooth loss.
Dental implants have a complete structure like real teeth with an implant post replacing the lost tooth root, an Abutment joint connecting the implant post and the ceramic crown. Porcelain crowns will be designed in shape and size similar to real teeth to replace lost crowns.
Choose metal-free porcelain teeth, also known as all-ceramic teeth. These porcelain teeth are made of 100% monolithic porcelain, with no metal mixed. Therefore, the color of porcelain teeth is bright white, the gloss and reflectivity are similar to real teeth.
Thanks to that, metal-free porcelain teeth are chosen by many people for restoration.
Advantages and disadvantages of metal-free ceramic dental implants type
Each type of porcelain teeth has its own advantages and disadvantages, but in general, choosing metal-free porcelain teeth in dental implants brings many benefits as follows:
Ensures long-term aesthetics
The implant integrates with the jaw bone and then puts a ceramic restoration on top, fixed on the jaw so it is very difficult to recognize the denture. At the same time, metal-free porcelain teeth have a naturally bright whiteness, thus increasing the beauty of the teeth.
Without metal components, all-ceramic teeth do not oxidize, causing blackening of the gum line in the oral cavity environment. BesideBesides, the outer ceramic layer is also anti-stick and anti-corrosion, so it maintains its color and beauty for a long time.
In addition, all-ceramic teeth are also designed with modern technology, so each tooth is delicate, meticulous in every groove and tooth surface.
High durability
The durability of porcelain teeth depends on many factors, but non-metal porcelain teeth have a longer lifespan than metal porcelain teeth. Average usage time is about 10-20 years. Even choosing good quality porcelain teeth, using correct dental implant techniques, and proper care regimen will prolong the usage time.
In particular, implants have a fairly high lifespan, up to 25 years, even forever.
Ensure good chewing
The implant is sturdy and integrated into a cylinder in the jawbone like a real tooth root, so it brings the ability to chew almost 100% of real teeth. At the same time, choosing metal-free ceramic crowns for restorations increases chewing ability. Because all-ceramic teeth have good strength and heat resistance due to being fired at high temperatures.
Prevents jaw bone loss
If other dental implant methods are chosen, the jaw bone will not disappear leading to face loss, aging, underbite, etc. For metal-free porcelain dental implants, the implant post replaces the tooth root, so it effectively prevents this situation from happening.
Does not cause irritation or infection
The implant is made of titanium – a popular material in dentistry and aviation. This material is extremely safe, benign, does not corrode or oxidize, so it does not cause irritation or infection but also provides long-term quality in the oral cavity environment.
At the same time, choosing metal-free ceramic teeth for the upper restoration also increases safety. Because monolithic ceramic materials do not cause inflammation or irritation like metal porcelain teeth.
Easy to clean
Metal-free porcelain dental implants are fixed on the jaw so they are very easy to clean and take care of your teeth. Therefore, this dental implant method is also considered to protect and improve good oral health, preventing dental diseases from occurring.
Disadvantages
In addition to the outstanding advantages that metal-ceramic dental implants bring, the method still has disadvantages that people should consider before deciding to implement it.
Metal-free ceramic dental implants are quite expensive, including all-ceramic implants and crowns.
