Zirkolith Implants
at Boris Lipovetskiy DMD, Doral, FL
Not long ago, tooth loss was treated with either a dental bridge or denture. Both remain sound dental solutions . . . with drawbacks. Bridges don’t feel completely natural, and require the alteration of healthy teeth for stabilization. Many denture-wearers struggle with stability and chewing function.
In the last 30 years, dental implants have restored smile confidence for millions of individuals. An implant is a tiny post that is placed into the jawbone. Once healed, the implant holds a crown, bridge, or full denture (when multiple implants are placed). Titanium is most often used to make dental implants. However, acidity in the mouth can cause titanium to corrode. Risk of corrosion is higher when dissimilar metals, such as amalgam fillings or metal crowns, are also present. Dr. Lipovetskiy offers an alternative to titanium, with Zirkolith zirconia implants.
Zirconia implants have been used around the world for more than a decade, and are approved by the FDA. Clinical research and practical application of Zirkolith implants have returned very positive results. Dental patients now have a healthy, attractive way to replace missing teeth, and restore enjoyment of eating and speaking.
Our team is committed to providing healthy dentistry that achieves beautiful, long lasting results. Each of our patients receives individualized care, because we believe this is the best way to promote wellbeing.

Benefits of zirconia implants
- Since zirconia dental implants are white in color, the post matches tooth structure and bone.
- Zirconia is biocompatible, so it encourages soft tissue growth and decreases risk of gum recession.
- Because zirconia metal-free, Zirkolith implants are non-corrosive.
