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.

Life happens. You don’t need to feel embarrassed about the condition of your mouth at The Marquis Center.

Our Treatment Coordinators are your personal guides and helpmates. They will be with you every step of the way from your consultation, to your new smile. This concierge of sorts will help address every question, concern, or fear you have.

During your consultation, we will gather records to determine the condition of your mouth, and how we can achieve your dream smile. We will take impressions, a maxillofacial CT scan, and photos. Afterward, we will discuss your ideal smile. You are welcome to bring in photos of yourself with your younger, healthier smile. Or you may even bring a photo of a celebrity’s smile that you admire!

Whether you want a bright white “Hollywood Smile" or a more natural, ageappropriate look, our Smile Engineers can make it a reality.

After our doctors have assessed the condition of your mouth, they will create a custom treatment plan during your consultation.

Just as every patient’s treatment plan is unique, so are their finances. We have helped many patients move forward with treatment who thought this was unattainable.

Getting the medical care you need is very important, but it is imperative to make sound financial decisions. Your Treatment Coordinator will discuss funding ideas that are right for you. This is an investment that needs thoughtful consideration and responsible planning.

Some patients may feel overwhelmed by the thought of an investment, but most patients don’t pay it all at once. We have partners that can stretch the payments over time, anywhere from 6 months to 96 months!

At The Marquis Center, we believe in honesty, integrity, and total transparency for all patients. When it comes to dental implants, you deserve the best team of professionals guiding you every step of the way.
