introducing
Z-Systems Ceramic Implants
Exclusively in Portland from Dr. Kelly Blodgett
The Only FDA Approved 100 % Metal Free Implants, Superior to Titanium Implants in Many Areas:
More natural.
Bones and gums integrate better with zirconium oxide ceramics.
Healthier.
Z-SYSTEMS implants are metal-free, biocompatible, conduct neither heat nor electrical energy, and cause no irritation to the immune system.
More sustainable.
Less plaque accretion than on titanium. This reduces the risk of perimplantitis as well as cardiovascular diseases and strokes.
Stronger.
Ceramic is much stronger than titanium.
More aesthetic.
Thanks to the white material, no gray shadows are visible even with thin or receding gums.
More visible.
Ceramic implants are opaque to X-rays, and easier to recognize in critical situations.
What Is A Dental Implant?
The implant body or post is the portion of the implant that is inserted into the jawbone. The implant body integrates with the jawbone and becomes the anchor for the new tooth.
The implant abutment is the portion of the dental implant inside the crown. Sometimes the abutment is created with the implant body as one piece. Other times, it is separate and attached to the implant with a screw. The abutment shapes the gum tissue and supports the crown.
The dental implant crown is the portion of the dental implant you see, but if done correctly, no one can tell it is not a natural tooth. The crown is bonded or cemented to the implant abutment and is commonly made of a ceramic or zirconia material because of its naturally white color and strength.
