Zirconia Dental Implants in Tewksbury, MA: A Metal-Free, Natural-Looking Option for a Healthier Smile

“I want something that’s strong, looks natural, and doesn’t involve metal.”

If that sounds like what you’ve been thinking, you’re going to love what zirconia implants can do.

At My Brand New Smile in Tewksbury, MA, we offer the latest in advanced tooth replacement—including Zirconia Dental Implants, a biocompatible, metal-free alternative that’s ideal for patients looking for a holistic, aesthetic, and durable solution.

Let’s talk about what they are, how they compare to titanium implants, and whether they’re the right choice for you.

What Are Zirconia Dental Implants?

Zirconia dental implants are made from zirconium dioxide, a strong, ceramic-based material that’s known for being ultra-durable and completely metal-free.

Unlike traditional titanium implants, which are metallic in color, zirconia implants are white—so they look more like natural tooth roots, especially in the front of the mouth.

They’re also hypoallergenic and ideal for patients with:

  • Metal sensitivities
  • Autoimmune concerns
  • Holistic health goals

Zirconia implants are often chosen by patients who want a cleaner, more natural-looking option without sacrificing strength or longevity.

Why Patients in Tewksbury Are Choosing Zirconia Implants

Zirconia might sound fancy—and it kind of is. But for the right patient, it’s a smart, modern choice. Here’s why:

  • Metal-Free

There’s no titanium, steel, or alloys involved—just a strong, biocompatible ceramic.

  • Naturally White

Zirconia implants blend beautifully beneath the gumline and avoid the gray lines that sometimes show with titanium over time.

  • Biocompatible

Zirconia is gentle on tissues and reduces plaque buildup, which can help protect against gum inflammation and bone loss.

  • Hypoallergenic

Great for patients who have metal allergies or sensitivities.

  • Strong and Long-Lasting

Zirconia has incredible compressive strength and is engineered to last for decades when placed properly.

How Zirconia Implants Work

Zirconia implants are placed just like titanium ones, but with a few key differences.

Traditional implants are often made in two parts: the implant post and the abutment. Zirconia implants are usually one-piece, which means:

  • Fewer components
  • Less risk of bacterial leakage between parts
  • Smoother surface for better gum health

We’ll review your jawbone and health history to see if you’re a good candidate. Spoiler: most people are.

The Process at My Brand New Smile in Tewksbury

Here’s what the zirconia implant process looks like at our office:

1. Free Consultation

We scan your jaw in 3D, evaluate your bone and gum health, and talk through your goals and concerns. If you’ve been told “you’re not a candidate” elsewhere, we’ll take a fresh look.

2. Placement Day

Dr. Elaine Wu places your zirconia implant using precise digital guidance. Local anesthesia keeps things pain-free. Sedation is available if you want to snooze through it.

3. Healing

Over the next 3–6 months, your jawbone will naturally integrate with the zirconia implant. You may wear a temporary crown during this time.

4. Final Crown

Once healed, we place your final custom crown. The result? A natural, seamless tooth that looks like it’s always been there.

Cost of Zirconia Dental Implants in Tewksbury

Because zirconia implants are less commonly used and require specialized training and materials, they typically cost a bit more than titanium.

On average:

  • Single zirconia implant with crown: $4,500–$6,500
  • Full arch (zirconia hybrid bridge): $18,000–$30,000+ per arch

At My Brand New Smile, we offer:

  • Free consultations
  • Monthly payment plans
  • 0% financing options
  • Insurance coordination (some parts may be covered)

We believe in clear pricing with no surprises. You’ll get a full quote before we do anything.

  • You’re replacing front teeth and care about natural aesthetics
  • You have allergies to metals or a history of autoimmune concerns
