Missing a Tooth? Let Us Help Restore Your Smile
Health First Dental prioritizes your overall health and well-being with metal-free dentistry.
Our approach focuses on providing biocompatible solutions that align with our commitment to holistic health. A cornerstone of this philosophy is our use of ceramic tooth implants, specifically zirconia dental implants, a metal-free option for replacing missing teeth.
We strive to empower you with knowledge and help you make informed decisions about your dental care. Book a dental exam today to see if dental implants suit you.
Who Is a Candidate for Metal-Free Implants?
While our primary recommendation is for metal-free implants due to their holistic benefits, we understand that every patient is unique. In some cases, titanium implants may be more suitable.
Although titanium rarely causes allergic reactions, biological testing can help us assess your risk.
We evaluate each case individually so you receive care personalized for your specific needs and health concerns.
Why Choose Metal-Free Dental Implants?
Zirconia dental implants offer several compelling benefits.
Biocompatibility
Zirconia implants are highly compatible with the human body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and autoimmune responses that can occur with metal implants.
Aesthetic Appeal
These implants are tooth-colored, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
Strength & Durability
Zirconia implants possess remarkable strength and durability, improving long-term success in dental restoration.
Resistance to Bacterial Build-Up
The surface of zirconia implants resists bacterial plaque build-up, promoting better oral hygiene and overall health.
Why You Might Need a Dental Implant
Dental implants are an excellent solution for a variety of dental issues, including:
Replacing Missing Teeth
For injury, decay, or other reasons, missing teeth can affect your smile and your ability to chew and speak properly. Implants can replace these missing teeth and restore your smile.
Supporting Dental Prosthetics
Implants can support bridges or dentures, providing a stable foundation that enhances their functionality and comfort.
Preventing Bone Loss
Missing teeth can lead to bone loss in the jaw. Implants stimulate bone growth, maintaining the integrity of your facial structure.
What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process
Understanding the dental implant process can help alleviate your concerns and prepare you for a seamless experience.
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. We evaluate your dental health and discuss your treatment options. Dr. Freiberg will determine whether you are a candidate for zirconia implants or if titanium suits your needs.
Using imaging technology, we create a personalized treatment plan outlining the steps and timelines of your implant procedure.
Implant Placement
The implant, which acts as a replacement root, is surgically placed into your jawbone. This critical step sets the foundation for your new tooth.
Over the next few months, the implant integrates with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This recovery and growth period help create a strong and stable base for the final restoration.
Crown Placement
Once recovery and osseointegration are complete, a custom-made crown is placed on your implant. Your crown is designed to match your natural teeth in shape and color. We use porcelain to craft crowns as the material is highly biologically compatible.
Regular follow-up appointments assess if your implant is functioning well and your oral health is maintained.
