Why choose zirconia arches for fixed full arch dental implants

In the dental implant world, zirconia arches stand out as a game-changer. As a popular choice for dental implant restorations, zirconia provides an unmatched balance of function, durability, strength and pleasing esthetics. It’s the dental restorative solution for patients seeking to restore their smiles. The success of zirconia used for a fixed full arch dental implant restoration is the culmination of years of art and science.

At ClearChoice Dental Implant Center, we are proud to offer zirconia arches backed by a lifetime warranty, helping you remain confident in your investment for years to come.

Benefits of using zirconia prosthesis (zirconia arches) in fixed full arch dental implant treatment options

Zirconia arches are made of durable zirconium dioxide, a type of ceramic material known for its strength and ability to match the natural color of teeth. Zirconia arches offer many benefits that make them a standout choice for full arch dental implant restorations. Here are the key advantages that set zirconia apart from other types of dental restoration materials:

Natural appearance

Dentists strive for materials that mimic the aesthetics of natural teeth. The translucent quality of zirconia and ability to control the shade and color of zirconia makes it a very lifelike and beautiful tooth replacement. Its non-porous quality mitigates staining from food items. Zirconia teeth are computer designed and computer manufactured, allowing custom design to match your facial structure and aesthetic preferences, helping your smile look as natural and unique as possible.

Improved chewing efficiency and food textures

With zirconia arches, patients can enjoy a wide variety of foods without worrying about damaging their prostheses. The strength of zirconia allows for efficient biting and chewing, closely replicating the performance of natural teeth. The computer design of the prosthesis allows accurate coupling of the biting surfaces of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws to efficiently mince-up food particles. While all food types can be eaten, ClearChoice prosthodontists recommend avoiding overly hard foods like ice or hard candies, as these can exert unnecessary pressure.

Durability and longevity

Of the various esthetic options for full arch dental implant materials, zirconia is the strongest and most durable. Zirconia is highly resistant to chips, breaks, and wear, helping your prosthesis stand the test of time.

Biocompatibility

Zirconia is a biocompatible material, meaning it is safe for oral tissues and unlikely to cause any allergic reactions. This makes it suitable for patients with sensitivities or concerns about other dental materials.

Maintenance requirements

Cleaning is straightforward. Brush to remove plaque on the prosthesis, and waterfloss/floss at the junction of the natural gum and the prosthesis. Special brushes can be used at this same junction and at the edges of the implants. Antibacterial rinses may be prescribed by your prosthodontist.

Procedure for getting zirconia arches (zirconia teeth)

The process of receiving zirconia arches follows the standard fixed full arch dental implant procedure, customized to meet individual needs. The steps include:

Initial consultation

During your initial visit, the dental professionals at ClearChoice will evaluate your oral health, take necessary photographic and radiology images, and discuss your needs and goals for dental care. Together, you and the ClearChoice team will determine if treatment with dental implants and zirconia arches is the right choice for you.

Treatment planning

A thorough examination of dental/medical history and current dental conditions is performed. A tailored treatment plan is created, including the precise placement of implants and the design of your zirconia prosthesis. Advanced imaging and diagnostic tools are used to promote the best outcomes, using computer aided design and computer manufacturing.

Implant placement

The dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, serving as the stable, fixed and immoveable foundation for your zirconia arches. This step is performed with expert precision to promote long-lasting success.

Healing prosthesis placement

While your implants integrate with your jawbone, a healing prosthesis, which allows adjustments as you heal and adapt, will be provided so you can function and smile confidently during the healing period. A wide variety of materials are available for this temporary prosthesis. You can collaborate with your ClearChoice prosthodontist to determine the temporary prosthesis design.

Final zirconia arches placement

Once healing is complete, the custom-designed zirconia arches are securely attached to the implants. These arches are meticulously crafted using computer aided manufacturing for a precise fit. The prosthesis makes contact with your natural gums, your tongue, lips and cheeks. The meticulous contact with the tissues of your lips and cheeks optimizes your facial contours. The relationship of the zirconia arch to your tongue and lips controls the food as you eat and controls air flow for precise speech.
