The loss of a tooth could be caused from many different reasons: tooth decay, infection, gum disease, trauma, or removal of an impacted tooth.
Ceramic implants are an innovative type of dental implant made from a biocompatible material called zirconia. Unlike traditional implants made of titanium, ceramic implants offer a metal-free alternative for replacing missing teeth. They are white or tooth-coloured, resembling the natural color of teeth, which can enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Dental By Design is one of the few clinics in the UK offering this type of treatment.
Digital implant planning and placement is a modern approach to dental implant surgery that uses advanced technology to plan and execute the procedure with high precision. This method enhances the accuracy, efficiency, and overall success of dental implants. Dental By Design is one of the fewer clinics in the UK utilising this approach.

Compared to titanium implants, ceramic implants offer several unique advantages:
Ceramic implants are white or tooth-colored, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. In contrast, titanium implants are metallic and may create a visible contrast against your natural teeth, particularly if your gums are thin.
Ceramic implants are known for their strength and durability, similar to titanium implants. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth and can withstand the forces of chewing and biting.
Zirconia, the material used for ceramic implants, is hypoallergenic and well-tolerated by the body. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or sensitivity, which can sometimes occur with titanium implants.
Some studies suggest that ceramic implants may promote healthier gum tissue compared to titanium implants. This can contribute to better long-term oral health outcomes.
Ceramic implants do not conduct heat or cold as much as metal implants. This characteristic can provide a more comfortable experience, especially for patients with sensitive teeth or gums.
Not all dental practices offer ceramic implants, so it’s essential to find a qualified provider with experience in this type of restoration.
Based on your oral health needs and aesthetic goals, a personalized treatment plan is created. This plan includes determining the number of implants needed and their optimal placement.
During the procedure, local anesthesia is used to numb the area. The ceramic implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they will serve as artificial tooth roots.
After the implant is placed, there is a healing period during which the implant integrates with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This period can last a few months.
Once the implant has fully integrated, your dentist will place a custom-made permanent crown on the implant. This crown is designed to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size.
Keep the area clean by brushing and flossing as directed by your dentist.
Avoid hard, chewy, or sticky foods during the healing period to ensure the implant remains stable.

Ceramic implants provide a metal-free, aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth. They offer unique advantages such as natural appearance, biocompatibility, and potential benefits for gum health. If you value aesthetics and prefer a metal-free option, ceramic implants may be a suitable choice for restoring your smile. Our team can provide personalized recommendations based on your oral health needs and aesthetic preferences.
Ceramic implants may be more expensive than titanium implants due to the materials and technology involved.
