Experience Excellence with Dr. Krithika Jayaprakash
At the helm of Dr. Jay Family Dental is the esteemed Dr. Krithika Jayaprakash, a seasoned dental professional
with a passion for delivering excellence. With her extensive expertise and commitment to staying at the
forefront of dental innovation, you can trust that your smile is in the hands of a true expert.
Her dedication to staying at the forefront of dental advancements ensures that you receive the highest quality
care possible — which is why we prioritise your overall health and offer metal-free ceramic implants.
Ceramic implants are more than just a solution — they're a game-changer for your dental health and confidence.
If you're sensitive to metal or titanium, our implants made from zirconium oxide are a great
alternative. They blend well with your gums, preventing bacteria from entering your bloodstream, and they
integrate securely into your jawbone.
Unlike titanium implants that might release particles, our ceramic and zirconia implants eliminate this risk,
reducing the chance of allergies.
Replicates the structure of a natural tooth closely
Blends seamlessly with your natural teeth — no grey line
Hypoallergenic, non-reactive and corrosion resistant
Integrates securely with healthy bone and gum tissue
Three reasons zirconia has become the material of choice for patients who care about how their body responds —
not just how their smile looks.
Durability
Crafted from high-strength zirconia, renowned for exceptional durability and longevity. Unlike traditional metal implants, ceramic implants are resistant to corrosion — ensuring your smile remains intact.
Biocompatibility
Well tolerated by the body and unlikely to cause adverse reactions — particularly beneficial if you have sensitivities or allergies to metals. Hypoallergenic and non-reactive, reducing inflammation in surrounding tissues.
Aesthetics
Designed to replicate the natural translucency and colour variation of real teeth. When you choose ceramic implants at Dr. Jay Family Dental, you're not just restoring your smile — you're enhancing it.
The Ceraroot System
Fewer Appointments. Stronger Structure.
Dr. Jay places the Ceraroot implant in her practice — a single-piece implant system. Because it
is one continuous piece with no connecting parts, the unified structure is stronger. The crown is placed right
on the implant, which reduces the number of appointments and shortens treatment time.
01
3D Cone Beam Assessment
We use cone beam imaging to evaluate bone width and height, and digital technology to plan placement precisely.
02
Health & Space Evaluation
Dr. Jay confirms the gums are healthy with no disease, and that there is enough space for the future crown.
03
Single-Piece Placement
The one-piece zirconia implant is placed, with no micro-gap between implant and abutment for bacteria to collect.
04
Natural Integration
The implant integrates with your jawbone and soft tissue, giving a result that is biocompatible, non-metal and beautifully natural.

Testimonials
Happy Smiles, Happy Patients
★★★★★
I had been searching for a holistic/biological dentist for a long time to treat my failing root canal teeth. I knew the importance of ozone and laser being used during the extraction process and the superiority of zirconium implants compared to titanium. I was thrilled to find Dr. Jay here in CT! Over a month ago I had 3 of my failing root canal teeth removed and implants placed. I was nicely surprised that after the surgery I was able to talk and wasn't even swollen. The healing is going beautifully.
★★★★★
I would give Dr Jay and her team 10 stars if I could. She and her team are professional, knowledgeable, personable, kind and best of all holistic & integrative! I travel 2.5 hours round trip to see her and I couldn't be happier with my care.
★★★★★
Dr. Jay is an exceptional dentist. I used to be terrified to go to the dentist, but thanks to Dr. Jay, I look forward to going. She placed a ceramic implant and did such a beautiful job. I can't even tell that it's an implant because she matched the colour of the crown to my natural teeth so well.
★★★★★
Dr. Jay is very thorough, a very wonderful person and easy to talk to. I would recommend her to anyone. She takes time to make sure everything is perfect before you walk out the door.
★★★★★
I have found this approach to dental work amazing, after having years of old fashioned expensive treatment that failed. Dental hygienist and reception are so helpful and a wealth of information. They show patience and really listen to the patient!!
★★★★★
I've been a patient of Dr Jay's for a long time. The staff have always been super friendly, professional and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend her practice.

Most individuals who are in good oral and overall health are suitable candidates for ceramic implants. Your dentist will evaluate your specific case to determine if ceramic implants are the right choice for you.
