Metal-free dental implants are an alternative to traditional metal-based solutions. Metal-free implants use a biocompatible material, zirconia, to provide superior strength, durability, and aesthetics for long-lasting results. The implant itself is made from a strong material that provides support for the restoration and allows for a natural look and feel. Unlike metal-based implants, these implants are free from corrosion or discoloration which makes them ideal for those who have an allergy to metals or have sensitive skin.
NobelPearl™ is a 100% metal-free, two-piece ceramic implant solution with a cement-free internal connection, providing a unique new alternative to titanium. Designed to support a natural soft-tissue appearance, NobelPearl™ implants can help patients gain the natural aesthetic excellence they desire.
Zirconia is a material with physical properties like steel, but a color that makes it conducive to creating highly aesthetic restorations. It is also a highly biocompatible material and helps facilitate better hygiene because plaque does not adhere to zirconia to the same degree as older dental implant bridge materials. Acrylic is a more porous material, whereas zirconia is very dense. This means that the zirconia will not absorb, resulting in a more hygienic, better restoration.
Zirconia dental implants are highly durable and can often last for many years or even decades. The longevity of metal-free dental implants is dependent on your oral hygiene habits, medications, smoking habits, and other factors. With proper care and maintenance, metal-free dental implants can provide long-term results that will improve the look and feel of your smile.
Metal-free zirconia dental implants are safe and highly effective. They are designed with the latest technology to make sure they meet or exceed industry standards while still delivering excellent results. Zirconia is a non-toxic material that has been tested by the FDA and found to be safe for use in dental procedures. The implant is also non-porous, so it won’t absorb substances that could be dangerous to your health.
Though metal-free dental implants are often referred to as “acrylic” or “zirconia”, these terms refer to two different types of metal-free dental implants. Zirconia and acrylic dental implants are both non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and nonmetal. However, acrylic implants are made from dental acrylic material. Zirconia dental implants, on the other hand, are made from a ceramic material that has similar properties to metal-based materials and provides superior strength and durability.
The Inter-X internal connection is specifically designed for ceramic implants. While the ceramic absorbs compressive forces, the VICARBO®screw made of carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK withstands tensile forces thanks to its continuous longitudinal carbon fibers.
The abutment’s simple placement and secure seating is enabled by the connection’s high-precision geometry.
The slightly beveled contact surface of the implant platform is designed to facilitate the centering of the prosthetic components while the four interlocks prevent abutment rotation within the implant.

The metal-free dental implant procedure starts with a consultation where your dentist will assess your needs and determine the best course of action. After the initial consultation, your dentist will prepare your teeth and gums for the metal-free dental implant procedure. This can involve crown lengthening, bone shaping, or other treatment to ensure that the implant is properly set in place.
Once the preparation has been completed, the metal-free dental implant will then be placed into the jawbone using a small drill. Finally, the restoration will be attached to the metal-free dental implant and you will be able to enjoy your new smile.
The innovative metal-free VICARBO® screw is made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer and designed for a strong ceramic-to-ceramic connection.
The hydrophilic sand-blasted and acid-etched ZERAFIL™ surface, combined with a partially machined collar, is proven to osseointegrate.6,7
NobelPearl™ implants and abutments are milled from hot isostatic-pressed (HIP) zirconia (ATZ*) blanks, which are proven to be strong. No thermal process (sintering) or finishing takes place after the final shaping of the external and internal implant geometry. This manufacturing method enables a high level of dimensional precision and accuracy.
Plan your treatment with NobelClinician Software and perform guided implant surgery with NobelGuide pilot drilling. Additionally, you can offer patients the NobelPearl™ Ceramic Base CAD/CAM solution using DTX StudioTMdesign software.
