Holistic Dental Implants
A Whole-Patient Approach to Dental Implant Treatment
Patients have different priorities when choosing dental materials and treatment options. Some are particularly interested in minimizing the use of metals or choosing ceramic materials when clinically appropriate.
At Irvine Smile Design, we offer zirconia dental implant options for appropriate patients seeking a ceramic, metal-free alternative to traditional titanium implants.
Our approach begins by considering the complete clinical picture—including oral health, bone support, gum health, medical history, aesthetic goals and individual treatment preferences.
Rather than assuming one implant material is best for every patient, our dental team can discuss available options and help determine which implant system is appropriate for your individual treatment needs.

The materials used in your dental implants is an important part of your treatment, and choosing the right material that works with your body is essential to achieving your best smile.
Although titanium has been the standard material in dental implant procedures for many years, traditional metal dental implants may not be the right choice for everyone.The state of one’s existing oral and overall health must be considered when considering each individual’s dental treatment plan.
Aesthetic needs play an important role in replacing teeth in the front of your mouth. CeraRoot Zirconia implants or Ceramic dental implants are white and appear more natural in the more sensitive areas than traditional titanium implants.
For example, some patients have thin gum tissue walls which allows for the darkness of titanium implants to show through or are allergic to certain metals and cannot withstand the metallic elements in traditional titanium dental implants. Others simply want the safest, most compatible, and least artificial dental prosthetics available, in which case Holistic dental implants, biocompatible and non-metallic Zirconia implants will be used.
Zirconia implants, abutments and crowns have tremendous benefits compared to their metal counterparts, including greater esthetics, increased compatibility with one’s body, and with less invasion in the gums and jaw. Holistic dental implants comprised of Zirconia are more biocompatible and less prone to allergic reaction compared to titanium implants. Other advantages of holistic dental implants over traditional ones are their resistance to fracture, wear, or damage from heat or acid corrosion, which can be harmful to one’s teeth and gums.
