Zirconia (metal-free) implants

Zirconia implants are made from a white, tooth-coloured ceramic instead of titanium, so there is no metal in your mouth and no grey line at the gum. Dr. Nabeel Al Nahhas, a consultant prosthodontist with more than 28 years in dentistry, places zirconia implants for patients who want a completely metal-free smile, and finishes them with zirconia crowns designed digitally to match your natural teeth.

Who it is for

  • Patients who want an implant with no metal at all.
  • Front teeth with thin gums, where a white implant keeps the gum line natural.
  • Patients sensitive to titanium.
  • Anyone who wants the most natural-looking result at the gum line.

How treatment runs

  1. Free consultation and 3D scan

    Examination, digital X-ray, CBCT scan and a check of your bite, including grinding or clenching.

  2. Digital planning

    Implant position and design are planned digitally around the final crown.

  3. Placement

    The zirconia implant is placed gently under local anaesthesia.

  4. Healing

    The implant bonds with the bone over the following months.

  5. Zirconia crown

    A zirconia crown is fitted on top: white from root to tip.

Zirconia or titanium?

How Dr. Nabeel gets the best result

  • He designs the crown first and places the implant where it supports a natural smile.
  • He checks your bite and grinding habits so your zirconia implant is protected for the long term.
  • He chooses zirconia or titanium with you, according to your bite, bone and gums.
  • Check-ups twice a year keep your zirconia implants and gums in good health.

Common questions

Why choose a zirconia implant?

It is white, tooth-coloured and contains no metal, so nothing grey shows through the gum. It is the choice for patients who want a fully metal-free smile.

Can zirconia be used for a full arch?

For full arches, Dr. Nabeel uses titanium implants with zirconia teeth on top, which gives you a white, metal-free look where it shows.

Do zirconia implants look more natural?

Yes, especially at the front with thin gums, because there is no grey metal under the gum.

How much do zirconia implants cost?

The consultation is free and includes a digital X-ray, and Dr. Nabeel gives you your plan and its cost in writing.
