Replace Your Missing Teeth with Metal-free, Biocompatible Zirconia Teeth Implants
Have you lost your teeth to gum disease, tooth decay, or an accident? Dr. Tyler Wynne suggests that you address your tooth loss promptly. In addition to affecting your smile’s appearance, missing teeth can lead to various health issues, such as bone loss in the jaw and bite misalignment.
You may have considered dental bridges, dentures, and titanium implants when evaluating your tooth replacement options. But have you thought about zirconia teeth implants? Carolinas BioHealth Dentistry in Clemmons, North Carolina, uses zirconia implants as a biocompatible alternative to titanium implants.
What are zirconia dental implants?
Traditionally, dentists have been using titanium dental implants to replace your missing tooth roots. While many patients tolerate titanium well, its metallic nature can cause side effects for some patients.
Zirconia implants are metal-free restorations made from zirconium. Zirconium is not only biocompatible but also tooth-colored, so there is no chance of metal appearing beneath the gum line. Although research is still undergoing about the longevity of zirconia, they’re strong and durable as titanium implants.
What to expect during the zirconia tooth implant treatment
Like traditional implants, the first step before getting zirconia implants is consulting a skilled and experienced dentist like Dr. Wynne. We use advanced technology from start to finish to ensure maximum precision during implant placement. We rely on digital radiographs, CT scans, and an intraoral camera to eliminate guesswork during your treatment.
Once we have your treatment mapped out, our dental team surgically inserts a zirconium implant at a precise location in your jawbone. We perform this surgery after administering local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. However, patients with dental anxiety can talk to Dr. Wynne about sedation dentistry for added comfort.
Traditional dental implants comprise the implant and an abutment, both installed in separate surgical procedures. Most zirconia implants are a single piece, meaning one surgical procedure is adequate.
Your zirconia dental implant needs several months to heal and fuse with the jawbone. After this process, your implant is solid enough to anchor a natural-looking dental crown or denture. We can restore your teeth with a fixed zirconia bridge if you need full-mouth dental implants. This dental restoration is incredibly strong and doesn’t chip, stain, or discolor like acrylic-based restorations.

Benefits of zirconia teeth implants
Zirconia is a biologically healthy alternative to traditional implants — a significant game-changer for patients with metal allergies. And that’s not all. Zirconia dental implants carry all the benefits of traditional implants and additional advantages like:
- More natural-looking: Zirconia is naturally tooth-colored and translucent, so the entire implant restoration looks natural from the crown to the root
- Better functionality: First, zirconia implants sit more snugly within the gum line because of the single-piece design. Secondly, zirconium-based implants are easy to clean, keeping gum disease away from your smile
- Enhanced safety: Since zirconia implants are metal-free, they are non-corrosive and heat resistant, providing long-term function
Ready to restore your smile’s function, appearance, and health with metal-free zirconia dental implants?

Joy S. (Advance, NC)
I came in, I was referred to Dr. Wynne and his office by my integrative doctor. I’m a cancer patient in remission, and I was advised to have my mercury fillings removed. I had quite a few mercury fillings.
So I am just amazed at how much better I feel since they’ve been removed.
I wasn’t expecting that, but just coming here, I felt so comfortable. I was made comfortable every time I came in for a visit, and I came in for several visits because again, I had quite a few to be removed, and I also had my front teeth redesigned, so I had those capped. Everything just went beautifully. I couldn’t be more pleased with the attention, the kindness, and the caring that I have received here. The people here are wonderful. They’re very professional. My product, my result, is beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for better. I’m very grateful to be a patient here and continue to be a patient here.
