Exploring the Various Types of Ceramic Dental Implants

Spending decades in dentistry, Dr. Vladimir Pastouk knows a thing or two about ceramic implants. Dr. Vladimir Pastouk’s own practice has spanned years of regular dentistry, cosmetic dental treatment, and implant procedures on a regular basis. There’s no question, in Dr. Vladamir Pastouk’s opinion, that the choices available for ceramic implants today are fairly amazing compared to what was possible just ten years ago. Significant improvements in product development make it possible to provide ceramic implants today that are fairly similar to real teeth, providing patients a natural appearance and confidence again to smile.

Single-piece ceramic implants tend to have a longer life and stronger assembly. They are formed as one complete unit, so there’s no joining of parts when the implant is placed in the patient. They have a very natural look, and implant work done by an expert like Dr. Vladimir Pastouk tends to be hard to exceed through other options.

A two or dual-piece implant provides a greater level of flexibility, especially where the initial procedure needs to heal first and then the second-stage is applied. This is often the case where the installation of an implant is very sensitive for the patient and there may be a need for reversing or changes down the road. With the two-piece ceramic implant, the components are held together by screws. They can be provided in a metal-free option, as well as being matched to different abutments and positions. They are extremely solid and secure, with significant tightness for long-term stability and reliability, in Dr. Vladimir Pastouk’s opinion.

Ceramic implants have performed very well, especially modern designs, and they are comparative to titanium implants when it comes to holding up and handling for the patient. And when installed by a heavily-experienced dentist team like the one led by Dr. Vladimir Pastouk, the results speak for themselves in dozens of satisfied patients.
