The question “What is a zirconia implant?” is one of the topics frequently searched by people seeking information about this treatment. However, in oral and dental health, the same symptoms or expectations do not necessarily require the same treatment for every patient. In this article, we explain the key points of the topic and what is considered during an examination.
"Zirconia-on-implant" refers to crown or bridge restorations that are supported by implants and fabricated using zirconia-based ceramic.
In what situations is it evaluated?
It may be preferred, particularly in appropriate cases where aesthetic expectations and mechanical requirements are evaluated together.
How does the treatment or evaluation process proceed?
The implant’s position, gum line, abutment connection, and occlusion are examined. After taking an impression or performing a digital scan, the restoration is prepared and its fit is checked.
What should be paid attention to?
Zirconia is not the implant itself; it is a component of the prosthesis that sits on top of the implant. Design and maintenance are just as important as the choice of material.
Frequently asked questions
Is the same method suitable for everyone?
No. The current condition of the teeth, surrounding tissues, general health and the person's expectations are evaluated together. General times or results shared on the internet are not a substitute for an individual examination.
What should be done before treatment?
It is useful to apply for a dentist examination by informing about your current complaints, medications you use and previous treatments. If necessary, radiographic examination and opinions from relevant fields of expertise may be requested.
