About Ceramic Implants

A Natural Tooth, Crafted Without Metal Components

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

Benefits

Why Patients Choose Ceramic Over Metal

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.

  1. 01

    3D Cone Beam Assessment

    We use cone beam imaging to evaluate bone width and height, and digital technology to plan placement precisely.

  2. 02

    Health & Space Evaluation

    Dr. Jay confirms the gums are healthy with no disease, and that there is enough space for the future crown.

  3. 03

    Single-Piece Placement

    The one-piece zirconia implant is placed, with no micro-gap between implant and abutment for bacteria to collect.

  4. 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.

Ask a Question

Ceramic implants are white or tooth-coloured, blending seamlessly with natural teeth, while metal implants are typically made of titanium or other metals. They're also hypoallergenic, making them suitable for individuals with metal sensitivities.

Yes, ceramic implants are highly durable and resistant to corrosion. They offer comparable strength to metal implants and can withstand the daily demands of chewing and biting.

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.

Yes, the placement procedure for ceramic implants is similar to that of metal implants. It involves a surgical procedure to insert the implant into the jawbone, followed by a healing period before attaching the prosthetic tooth.

Yes, ceramic implants can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth. Your dentist will customise a treatment plan based on your specific dental needs and goals.

While complications with ceramic implants are rare, as with any surgical procedure there are potential risks, such as infection or implant failure. However, with proper planning, skilled placement and diligent aftercare, the likelihood of complications is minimised — and most patients experience successful outcomes.
