What are Zirconia Dental Implants?
Zirconia dental implants are the most biologically compatible tooth replacement option available today. If you are missing teeth, dental implants are the optimal and highly functional solution to restore your smile. This will ensure that you have teeth that behave like real teeth.
Zirconia implants differ from traditional titanium implants because they are metal-free, biocompatible, and designed to integrate naturally with your body’s energy meridians and immune system.
Unlike conventional dentistry, the biological approach to dental implants means we do more than just place implants – we create a healthy foundation for healing and long-term success. Zirconia implants are made of “zirconium oxide” – a material that is already fully oxidized so it does not degrade over time.
Combined with our 3D implant planning and surgical guidance systems, your implants should last many years and provide you with a beautiful smile and great chewing functionality.

Patient Testimonials: A Holistic Approach Dental Implants
These are the voices of our happy patients and their stories. Experience first-hand the sense of unique community and individual care in Dr. Blodgett’s practice.
“Three months ago, I made the important decision to travel to PDX and have my titanium implant (and surrounding metal tacks) removed by Dr. Blodgett and the team, an experience that has profoundly changed my life for the better. The implant was located on the meridian line of the reproductive system, which we suspected might be contributing to my endometriosis… We explored potential options for replacing the titanium implant. Together, we decided on a bridge, and we were able to set the new tooth in place the very same day. The moment we removed the titanium implant (which had been corroding!), I knew we had made the right decision. Immediately I could take a clearer, deeper breath and my body relaxed… Not only have I seen a significant decrease in pain and endometriosis flares, but I’ve also experienced a deeper connection to my body, improved breathing, reduced inflammation, enhanced mental clarity, and a surge in overall energy.”
Kaili K.
“I recently finished replacing three of my front teeth with Dr. Blodgett and his amazing team! They made what I was told to be ‘impossible’ possible! I went from having 3 infected root canals to 3 ceramic implants and temporary crowns in a single visit. After a few months of healing, I now I have the healthy, beautiful smile I have always wanted! It was a seamless and nearly painless experience, and I truly believe Blodgett Dental Care is the best in America when it comes to this specific field of dentistry!”

“One of the few dentists in the area who will do Zirconium implants. Have not needed pain medicine after procedures. He uses the latest holistic methods. Lucky to have him and his team on my side.”
William V.
“My name is Carol and I live in Oregon. I was told by my local dentist that my front tooth would need to come out and be replaced with an implant. I couldn’t imagine even considering having this procedure done by my local dental office. I searched for and found a biological dentist….Dr. Kelly Blodgett in Portland, Oregon… The level of professionalism and expertise was 100% different than my local dentist… When my tooth was removed a porcelain crown was put in place and four and a half months later my permanent crown/implant was in place. Everything from start to finish is done in their office and it was truly a great experience. I was sent home with homeopathic remedies not prescription paid medication. The pain was minimal and was easily controlled with the homeopathic remedies, proper nutrition, ice, Tylenol and a red light treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Kelly Blodgett and his team. They are real professionals and provide excellent dentistry.”

Zirconia Dental Implants FAQs
Explore commonly asked questions about zirconia dental implants from our thriving community! Cant find your query? Reach out to us during our business hours and we’ll be sure to help you get your question answered!
What makes zirconia implants different from titanium implants?
Zirconia implants are made of “zirconium oxide” – a material that is already fully oxidized so it does not degrade over time. Unlike titanium implants which are metal and can corrode, trigger immune responses, and disrupt natural energy flow, zirconia implants are 100% metal-free, biocompatible, and designed to integrate naturally with your body. They’re also white and tooth-colored, eliminating the gray shadows that can appear around titanium implants.
Are zirconia implants as strong as titanium implants?
Yes, zirconia implants are extremely strong and durable. They’re backed by research and real-world success, and when combined with our 3D implant planning and surgical guidance systems, should last many years while providing excellent chewing functionality. The material is naturally resistant to plaque and inflammation, supporting long-term gum health.
How do you ensure my body will accept the zirconia implant?
We ensure the materials being implanted are compatible with your unique immune system before placement. We also support your body’s natural healing with ozone therapy, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and personalized guidance on detox, nutrition, and immune support to help your body accept and integrate your implant with ease.
What is the process for getting zirconia implants?
Every implant journey is carefully tailored using CBCT 3D imaging for ultra-precise planning and minimally invasive surgical techniques. We create a comprehensive healing environment that includes ozone therapy to disinfect and support tissue regeneration, PRF to naturally speed healing, and personalized protocols to support your body’s integration process.
Can zirconia implants replace multiple teeth?
Absolutely. Whether you need a single tooth replacement, multiple implants, or a full-arch restoration, zirconia implants can provide an excellent solution. We’ll help you decide if zirconia implants are the right choice for your health, lifestyle, and goals.
How long do zirconia implants last?
With proper care and our biological protocols, zirconia implants should last many many years. Because the material is already fully oxidized, it doesn’t degrade over time like metals can. They’re also naturally resistant to plaque buildup and inflammation, which supports their longevity.
