At Nashua Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry, PLLC, we prepare, plan, and restore dental implants in a way that complements our ultimate mission of supporting and sustaining healthy smiles and the well-being of our patients across southern New Hampshire. While most dental practices only offer implants made from titanium, our dentists also offer a highly biocompatible ,aesthetic, and lasting alternative to this metal: ceramic dental implants.
Each dental implant is a cylinder-shaped part of a replacement tooth. The implant replaces a vital component of healthy natural teeth — its root. Conventional forms of tooth replacement, like fixed dental bridges and removable “partials” or complete dentures, don’t replace the roots of the teeth.
Because implant-retained crowns, bridges, and dentures include “artificial tooth roots,” these systems provide optimal support, comfort, durability, and satisfaction to the patient.
To function like a tooth root, each implant must first be surgically placed in the jawbone. This procedure is tolerated well by most patients and performed by an oral surgeon with whom our dentists work closely. Once the implants needed to complete your smile are placed in the jaw, they will “osseointegrate” to neighboring, surrounding bony tissue. This is a natural and safe process that provides a stable foundation for the restoration – be it a crown for one tooth or a bridge or denture to replace many teeth.

Ceramic dental implants may be preferred due to their:
