MARQUIS IMPLANTS AND ZIRCONIA TEETH?

What Are Marquis Smiles Made Of?

The Marquis Center uses implants made from titanium, which is extremely strong, hypoallergenic, and promotes bone growth around each implant. These dental implants are permanent, and will prevent any further jaw deterioration. The permanent teeth placed on the implants are made from a material consisting of zirconium and oxygen. Although zirconium is a metal, due to oxidation it has the characteristics of a ceramic material. Zirconia is also hypoallergenic, resistant to corrosion, and 10 times stronger than natural teeth. Zirconia teeth are cleaned and maintained like your natural teeth, and will allow you to have full chewing range of motion. The porcelain is hand layered by our team of artists on top of zirconia, giving your teeth and gums striations and shading so they mimic natural teeth. With proper maintenance, your zirconia teeth can last a lifetime.

What Are Dentures Made Of?

According to the National Institute of Health, acrylic resin or plastic has become the highest on-demand material for dentures. This isn't necessarily a good thing. Acrylic dentures tend to wear fast, and the shape of the teeth may even change as you continue to bite your food over the course of time. Dentures typically last only 5-10 years. Since dentures are not permanent, they will not prevent bone loss or allow you to chew properly. They are also high-maintenance and require frequent cleaning, soaking, and adhesive glue. Further, the gum and tooth color do not appear natural.
