Achieve a natural, lasting smile with a single dental implant from BioDental. We offer CeraRoot Implants, crafted from biocompatible zirconia, for a metal-free, aesthetically pleasing solution. Designed to seamlessly integrate with your jawbone, our metal-free ceramic implants restore function and appearance, providing a durable, comfortable alternative to titanium implants.
Replace a Missing Tooth With a Ceramic Implant
A single dental implant is a permanent solution for replacing a missing tooth. It consists of a biocompatible zirconia post, which is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as the root of the missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached, restoring both function and aesthetics. At BioDental, we exclusively use CeraRoot ceramic implants made from zirconia, a metal-free material that provides a natural-looking result while avoiding issues like gum discoloration, commonly seen with traditional titanium implants.
We Use the CeraRoot Implants
At BioDental, we use CeraRoot implants because they are made from zirconia, a metal-free material that offers superior biocompatibility. Zirconia integrates seamlessly with the jawbone, providing a strong, durable foundation for the replacement tooth. Unlike metal implants, CeraRoot implants eliminate concerns like gum discoloration and allergic reactions. Their one-piece design reduces the risk of bacterial buildup and inflammation, ensuring optimal safety. With CeraRoot, we provide a natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth.
How Long Does the Single Dental Implant Procedure Take?
The initial placement of the implant typically takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of your case. This procedure is often performed in a single visit under local anesthesia. After the implant is placed, you will need to allow a few months for the implant to integrate with the jawbone (osseointegration). Once this process is complete, the final crown can be placed in one session.
How Long Will a Single Dental Implant Last?
The implant itself, made of zirconia, is supposed to last a lifetime. The crown placed on top of the implant typically lasts 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and regular dental checkups. With proper maintenance, including daily brushing and flossing and routine visits to the dentist, your implant can last a lifetime.

What Is the Single Dental Implant Process?
Initial Consultation
The process begins with a consultation, during which Dr. Matian will evaluate your oral health. He will review your medical history and ask about concerns or goals you may have regarding your smile. Digital X-rays or 3D scans may also be taken to assess the bone structure and determine whether there’s enough bone density to support the implant. If necessary, Dr. Matian may recommend a bone graft to ensure your jawbone can support the implant.
Implant Scanning
After determining your candidacy, the next step involves precisely scanning your mouth and jawbone. Using advanced digital scanning technology, we create a 3D model of your teeth and jaw to guide Dr. Matian in planning the implant position. This detailed scan allows Dr. Matian to measure the available bone structure and ensure the implant will fit securely. It also helps identify important structures like nerves to avoid during the procedure.
Implant Planning
With your 3D scan, Dr. Matian develops a customized implant plan tailored to your specific needs. He considers the location of the missing tooth, the surrounding teeth, and your aesthetic preferences. Based on this information, Dr. Matian will select the most suitable type and size of the CeraRoot zirconia implant for your case. The planning phase also includes a discussion of the timeline, expected healing periods, and any necessary follow-ups.
Implant Placement
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Matian will place the CeraRoot zirconia implant into your jawbone. Using state-of-the-art tools and techniques, he will ensure the implant is positioned precisely to integrate with your bone over time. After placement, you may need to allow several months for the implant to heal and fuse with the bone. Once healing is complete, Dr. Matian will place your custom crown using our CEREC same-day crown technology.
