Even if you are not into metal-free dentistry, there are distinct advantages to zirconium implants, says Dr. Lingle. Zirconium is a Biostimulating material. It not only provides bone adhesion, a vital requirement of dental implants, it also encourages the growth of healthy gum tissue a characteristic that titanium does not exhibit. Also, Zirconium implants are an ivory white color, just like natural teeth. This eliminates the dark grey shadow in the gum tissue that can be associated with metal implants.
Introduced in Europe in 2001, Zirconium dental implants are still relatively new in the U.S. While the FDA approved the Zirconium implant in 2007, Dr. Lingle is one of the few dental surgeons that has embraced this advanced technology.
Dr. Lingle is the founder and partner at St. Paul Dental Center and a pioneer in dental implant placement, having provided thousands of patients with dental implants for over 30 years. His goal is to provide patients with the most effective and safest dental implant treatments available.
