Fixed Zirconia Bridges and Implants


Natural Multi-Tooth and Full Arch Dental Implants

Zirconia is Natural, Strong, and Beautiful


Zirconia is rising in popularity as in implant dentistry as the go-to material for implant supported crowns and bridges. And rightfully so! Zirconia is not only one of the strongest materials available for making crowns and bridges, but also the most natural.

Zirconia bridges look and feel like natural teeth. They require no plastic palate or gums in order to be fixed to implants, unlike dentures. They also are cleaned with brushing twice daily, like organic teeth.

With CAD design and 3D milling, they can be designed with laser-point precision with the grooves and contours of natural teeth, giving them a stunning appearance.

Additionally, zirconia bridges are very strong. Made from zirconium oxide, they are significantly stronger than porcelain and even a number of metal alloys. With zirconia, you can eat solid foods such as apples and steak that may be otherwise difficult with other types of replacement teeth. It is also common for zirconia to last the rest of a patient’s life.

Zirconia vs Implant Dentures


While implant supported dentures are a viable option for full mouth or full arch dental implants, zirconia brigdes are advantageous in several ways.

First, zirconia bridges are non-removable, while implant supported dentures are removable. The main reason for this difference is hygiene. Zirconia can be brushed like natural teeth. Therefore, it doesn’t need to be removed from the implants. In contrast, implant supported dentures need to be cleaned like traditional dentures due to their acrylic material, which is more absorbent. Therefore, implant dentures need to be soaked in solution overnight in order to be properly cleaned.

Zirconia is also stronger, feels more natural, and can be fixed to a larger number of dental implants.

Zirconia vs All on 4


Zirconia has several advantages over All on 4. For one thing, it is more durable. All on 4 can be made from a variety of materials, but most of the time it is made from acrylic. Acrylic is the same material used to make dentures and is therefore significantly more brittle and prone to cracking.

Full arch zirconia bridges also have 2-10 more implants on average per arch. Moreover, they don’t have any overhanging ridge that would otherwise irritate your gums.


Like zirconia bridges, All on 4 is non-removable. However, because they are often made from acrylic, this is not necessarily an advantage. Because it’s an acrylic prosthetic All on 4 is more absorbent to liquid and bacteria. However, because it is screwed onto implants, the prosthetic can’t be removed and soaked in solution. Therefore it is more likely to be compromised by harmful bacteria underneath the ridge.


With all of these advantages, one might think that zirconia is more expensive than All on 4. However, the opposite is true. According to survey data on the cost of dental implants in Texas, zirconia is $8,000 less expensive on average per arch!

Now my life is changed. My appearance is better. My eating is better. I can’t say enough good things about Jackie and the rest of the staff. So thank you Dr. Brown for changing my life.Highly, HIGHLY, recommend.

These guys are great I had another dentist tell me because of bone loss I had to pull a front tooth wait a year before they could give me a implant. Dr. Brown said he has done more with less so I had him do the implant and no problems that was three years ago. I have had another implant since then with same results so if you are needing a implant this is the place to go. One more thing he has the best pricing I could find.

I checked out several options for dental implant surgery and went with Dr. Brown. He explained everything thoroughly to me and showed me the facility and his method seems to be the best for me. Had oral surgery with several teeth removed and several posts implanted inserted. The next day I didn't even need an aspirin. It was unbelievable the amount of work they did in one day with no pain the next. The staff is great, they treat you like family. I'm now most of the way through the process and thoroughly impressed with Dr. Brown and his staff. All have gone above and beyond.I wanted to update my review since I just received my permanent implants... WOW! you wouldn't know they were implants if I didn't tell you. They look and feel Great ! Couldn't have made a better choice. Excellent work. I Highly Recommend Them A+++Thank you to Dr Brown and All the Staff at The Dental Implant PlaceKMI have had the full upper implants for about 2 years now and its still the best decision I have made in years. No issues! Look Great !!
