Dental implants are one of the most effective solutions for replacing missing teeth—but many patients are surprised to learn that not all implants are metal-free. At Integrative Holistic Dentistry in Chapel Hill, we offer a safer alternative: ceramic dental implants that are 100% biocompatible and free from titanium. Our patients choose ceramic implants not just for their aesthetics, but for the peace of mind that comes with supporting their total-body health.

Unlike traditional titanium implants, ceramic implants do not corrode, interfere with the immune system, or cause gray gum lines. Titanium can also carry electromagnetic conductivity and trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. Our metal-free dental implants avoid these risks by using zirconia—a high-strength ceramic material that integrates naturally with bone and tissue. It’s the ideal choice for those living a holistic lifestyle or managing chronic health concerns.

Beyond materials, our implant procedures follow biological principles at every stage. We begin with a detailed assessment of bone density, oral health, and systemic factors like inflammation or gut health. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to support healing and long-term implant success. Our holistic techniques reduce trauma and encourage faster recovery, using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), ozone therapy, and low-radiation digital imaging.

Patients love the look and feel of ceramic implants because they’re indistinguishable from natural teeth and feel completely comfortable once healed. Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or past dental work, our Chapel Hill team can help restore your confidence—with a solution that works with your body, not against it. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
