IThe simple answer is no, for three main reasons. Firstly, after your implant treatment your
jawbone must adhere itself to the titanium implants through a biological process known as
osseo-integration. One of the reasons that we prefer to use an acrylic material for the
construction of the bridge that is fitted to the implants is because it is more forgiving on the
bite and can absorb some of the forces. With Zirconia, because of its high rigidity it would
transfer the impact of the bite more readily through to the implants, which could
potentially disturb the process of integration. The second reason is because the Zirconia
can take a number of weeks to complete, and we would not dare to ask our patients to
be without any teeth whilst waiting for the zirconia production. Thirdly, wearing the acrylic
bridges affords us the opportunity to re-assess the aesthetics and function once you are
fully recovered and eating all types of foods. If there are any changes required, we can
incorporate these into the design of the new zirconia bridge. The original acrylic bridge will
always serve as a spare set in case we need to do any sort of adjustment to the zirconia
bridge in the future.
I have had my acrylic bridges now for 5 years and I
love the look, can the new zirconia bridge be
shaped similar to my old implant bridge?
