METAL FREE
IMPLANTS
MORGANVILLE, NJ
A Biologically Minded Option.
Ceramic implants for patients who prefer a metal free replacement with natural aesthetics.
For some patients, the material placed in their body matters as much as the result. Ceramic implants offer a metal free alternative to titanium, designed to integrate with surrounding tissue while keeping a natural, light reflecting appearance.
At Smile Theory in Morganville, NJ, we offer both titanium and ceramic implants for patients from Marlboro, Holmdel, Colts Neck and throughout Monmouth County, and help you choose what is right for you.

How Ceramic Implants Work
Ceramic implants are made from zirconia, a strong, tooth colored ceramic. Like titanium implants, they are placed in the jawbone and bond with the bone over time to support a custom crown.
Because zirconia is white, there is no gray shadow showing through thin gum tissue, which is especially helpful for front teeth.
Titanium or Ceramic?
Both are well studied and reliable. The right choice depends on your anatomy, bite, health priorities and aesthetic goals.

Dr. Z and our team have answered the questions we hear most often from patients across Marlboro, Holmdel, Colts Neck and Monmouth County.
Don't see your question below? Give us a call. We are always happy to talk it through with you.
Are ceramic implants as strong as titanium?
Who should consider ceramic implants?
Modern zirconia implants are very strong and well suited to many situations. Titanium has a longer track record and more design options, so we recommend the material that best fits your case.
Patients with metal sensitivities, those who prefer a metal free approach and those replacing front teeth with thin gum tissue often benefit most.
Do ceramic implants look more natural?
Is the process different from titanium implants?
Because they are white, ceramic implants avoid the gray shadow titanium can sometimes cast through thin gums, which helps in the smile zone.
The steps are very similar: evaluation, 3D planning, placement, healing and a custom crown. Healing times are comparable.
How long do ceramic implants last?
Do ceramic implants cost more?
With good home care and regular visits, ceramic implants are designed to last for many years.
Ceramic implants can cost somewhat more than titanium. We will review your options, insurance benefits and 0% APR monthly payment plans before treatment begins.
