Implant dentistry has given dentists another way to replace missing or unrestorable tooth

Basic components

 

Fixture is the part thats embedded in the bone

Abutment is the part embedded in the soft tissue that connects the crown with the fixture

Cylinder is the inside part of the crown that connects to the abutment

The crown can also be cemented onto the abutment without the cylinder

First photo was taken 4 months after implant surgery.

In this case, patient requested METAL FREE restoration. We elect to use zirconia abutment and zirconia crown.

Countless research was done to compare the strength of ZIRCONIA vs METAL and has proven over and over that the strength of zirconia is higher than metal. Feel free to ask for literatures on this topic.
