Custom-Made Ceramic Dental Implants

From customer-specific implant designs, whether one-piece or two-piece, to ceramic abutments, CeramTec can offer you a solution. We support you with a flexible development approach to reduce project risk at an early stage, through design workshops or stand-alone feasibility projects. CeramTec has the resources and expertise to bring your implant portfolio to the next level. 

DENSILOX® Ceramic Implants

DENSILOX® ceramic implants are based on zirconia which demonstrates high hardness, high fracture strength and toughness1,2. Carefully selected raw materials and strict quality control ensure clean implants with highest demands on surface purity.

Our ceramic implants and abutments are 100% metal-free, biocompatible oxide-based materials.3,4,5 You can select according to your requirements between the most commonly used Zirconia (TZP) and Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ) ceramics. Additionally, you can opt for a Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) ceramics, already widely used for orthopedic applications.*
