NobelPearl™: Metal-Free ImplantsWhat Are NobelPearl™ Implants?A NobelPearl™ implant is a 100% metal-free implant solution that provides a new alternative to titanium. The implant contains two ceramic pieces that screw into each other and provide a more natural aesthetic. If you are concerned about the use of metal, then we highly recommend NobelPearl™ implants. During the procedure, Colin Lentz, DDS will make a small incision into the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone. Next, the implant will be deeply embedded into the jawbone. When the procedure is complete, we will suture the incision. NobelPearl™ implants, much like titanium ones, can fuse with living bone. This process is known as osseointegration and can take as long as six months. Once osseointegration is complete, we can place the ceramic abutment, or support structure, which links the implant screw to the restoration. A carbon fiber screw, known as the Inter-X internal connection, will provide additional support for the screw and abutment. This connector is specifically designed for ceramic implants. After the abutment is in place, we will take an impression. Our laboratory technicians will use this impression to fabricate your final restoration, also made from ceramic. By the end of the process, you will have a durable and aesthetically-pleasing tooth replacement. Your restoration should be virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. The Benefits of NobelPearl™ ImplantsYour NobelPearl™ implant restoration will look and feel like your real teeth. You will also be able to treat it like your real teeth, with regular brushing and flossing. While it is true that ceramic does not stain, it is still suitable to the same stresses as your natural teeth. Proper care and maintenance will help ensure that your restoration lasts for many years! Non-metal implants like NobelPearl™ are biocompatible, making them ideal for soft-tissue attachment and low inflammatory response. They have also demonstrated a low plaque affinity and a high resistance rate to corrosion. NobelPearl™ implants are also ideal for patients with sensitivities or allergies to the metals commonly used in implant treatment.
