Integrative dentistry and zirconia implants
In the past, the solution to replace a missing tooth was either a bridge or a denture. Often, however, these restorations did not adequately replace the missing tooth in either function or appearance. Dentures and bridges can slip or break. More importantly, neither stops the bone loss that occurs when a tooth is missing. Zirconia implants are the most biologically safe type of tooth replacement.

Dr. Albert Chow at ModelSmile Dentistry has a rare achievement. He is a “Master of the Academy of General Dentistry,” (MAGD), a designation held by only 2 percent of dentists in the country. Beyond an exceptional level of training and experience, including in the art of dental implants, he is a Certified Naturopath. His approach to dental implants is to perform restorations that will enhance your overall health. Should you need bone grafting, you can expect treatment that is performed with state-of-the-art techniques and technologies.
Dental implant technology has radically improved the dental arts, and the technology continues to advance. Dr. Chow stays at the leading edge in the latest developments in technology, and offers state-of-the-art dental implants in Thousand Oaks, including:
Many patients have concerns about dental implants and are seeking the alternative of metal-free implants. Dr. Chow offers zirconia dental implants to his patients. Zirconia, or chemically, “Zirconia-dioxide,” is derived from the element zircon. These implants are bio-inert – the substance cannot trigger a chemical reaction and does not migrate to other areas of the body. These implants are hypoallergenic, corrosion resistant, strong, and are known to integrate with the bone beautifully. The product has a very smooth surface, and has no metallic taste, which some patients notice.
Implants are the modern method of replacing missing teeth. Thousand Oaks and Malibu dental implants dentist, Dr. Chow, places the “implant,” the replacement for the original tooth root, into the jaw. The post acts as the tooth root and keeps the bone and soft tissues stimulated. An abutment is attached to the top of the post, and a custom crown secured to the abutment. The result is a very strong, natural looking replacement tooth that can last a lifetime. It also can withstand the normal chewing actions of natural teeth (you can eat anything!), and they don’t slip.
At ModelSmile Dentistry, we practice integrative dentistry. This is a whole-body health approach to every procedure, including dental implants. Zirconia is inert, has no taste, and leads to a faster healing time, as unlike metal, it doesn’t transfer heat to the gum tissues. These implants are a gleaming white color, and won’t affect the color of your gums, an aesthetic advantage.
The placement of the implant is of critical importance in the success of a dental implant. When under the care of Dr. Chow, you can expect extreme precision in placement. The goal is to ensure your new tooth is perfectly aligned with your natural teeth, and functions perfectly for years into the future.
