Hey there! If you’re exploring options to replace missing teeth, you’ve likely come across dental implants. But have you heard about zirconia dental implants? They’re a game-changer, especially if you’re looking for a natural, metal-free solution. At Studio B Dental in Toronto, we’re proud to be one of the first in North America to offer CeraRoot zirconia implants, approved by Health Canada. Let’s discover the benefits of zirconia dental implants and find out if they might be the perfect choice for you, what makes them special, and how they can give you a confident smile in no time.
What Are Zirconia Dental Implants?
Zirconia dental implants are a modern alternative to traditional titanium implants. Made from zirconium dioxide, a strong ceramic material, these implants are 100% metal-free, making them ideal for anyone with metal sensitivities or those who prefer a holistic approach to dental care. Unlike titanium, which can sometimes show grey lines through thin gums, zirconia’s white colour blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a smile that looks and feels authentic.
At Studio B Dental, we use CeraRoot implants, known for their durability, biocompatibility, and aesthetic appeal. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or need a full restoration, these implants offer a reliable, long-lasting solution. Plus, they’re designed to integrate with your jawbone, mimicking the function of natural tooth roots to keep your smile strong and healthy.
Why Choose Zirconia Over Titanium?
You might be wondering, “Why go with zirconia when titanium implants are so common?” Great question! While titanium implants are effective, zirconia has some unique advantages that make it stand out, especially for certain folks. Here’s the breakdown:
Metal-Free and Biocompatible
Zirconia is a ceramic material, so it’s completely metal-free. This is a big deal if you have metal allergies or sensitivities, which can cause irritation or inflammation with titanium implants. Zirconia is biocompatible, meaning it’s gentle on your body and less likely to trigger allergic reactions. It’s a fantastic choice for those with autoimmune conditions or anyone seeking a more natural dental solution.
Aesthetic Perfection
Let’s be real—nobody wants a grey line showing up at the gumline. Titanium implants can sometimes cause this, especially if your gums are thin or recede over time. Zirconia implants, being white, blend in perfectly with your teeth and gums, giving you a natural, polished look. This makes them especially great for front teeth or anyone who wants a flawless smile.
Minimally Invasive and Quick Recovery
At Studio B Dental, we use a simple, one-stage surgery for CeraRoot zirconia implants. In many cases, we can place the implant right after extracting a tooth, which means fewer surgeries and faster recovery. If your jawbone is healthy and there’s no infection, we can often insert the implant directly through the gums, making the process less invasive and more comfortable. You’ll be back to smiling confidently in no time!

For reference, a basic dental implant in Ontario can start around $4,165, with zirconia implants costing slightly more due to their premium materials. Want to know more?

Who’s a Good Candidate for Zirconia Implants?
Zirconia implants aren’t just for anyone—they’re especially great for specific folks. Here’s who might benefit most:
-
People with Metal Allergies: If you’re sensitive to metals, zirconia’s ceramic makeup is a safe, hypoallergenic option.
-
Those Seeking a Holistic Approach: Prefer to keep things natural? Zirconia is a biocompatible, metal-free choice that aligns with holistic dentistry.
-
Patients with Thin Gums: Zirconia’s white colour prevents any unsightly grey lines, making it ideal for those with thinner gum tissue.
-
Anyone Wanting a Natural Look: If aesthetics are a priority, zirconia implants deliver a smile that looks and feels like your own teeth.
Not sure if you’re a candidate? A quick consultation with our team, including a 3D CBCT scan, will help us assess your jawbone density and oral health to ensure zirconia implants are right for you.
The Zirconia Implant Process: What to Expect
Curious about how it all works? Here’s a quick rundown of the zirconia implant process at Studio B Dental:
-
Initial Consultation: We’ll chat about your goals, check your oral health, and take X-rays or a CBCT scan to plan your treatment.
-
Tooth Extraction (if needed): If you have a damaged tooth, we’ll gently remove it, often using ozone therapy to sterilize the area and promote healing.
-
Implant Placement: The zirconia implant is surgically placed into your jawbone. In many cases, we can do this right after extraction, saving you time.
-
Healing and Integration: Over a few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone (a process called osseointegration). A temporary crown keeps things functional and looking good.
-
Final Restoration: Once healed, we attach a custom zirconia crown that matches your natural teeth perfectly.
The result? A strong, beautiful smile that can last for decades with proper care.
