Metal-Free Ceramic Dental Implants In Santa Monica
At Pearl Haus, implant care is elevated to a restorative art — blending advanced diagnostics with regenerative science to ensure long-term biological integration. Every decision is made with intention, grounded in evidence, and guided by a deep understanding of function, aesthetics, and systemic health.
Why choose dental implants?
At Pearl Haus, implants are not simply about replacing missing teeth — they are about restoring function, preserving bone, supporting systemic health, and honoring your biology for the long term. Our approach is guided by biomimetic precision, advanced diagnostics, and regenerative preparation — ensuring that every implant integrates seamlessly with your bone, soft tissue, and full-body physiology. We prioritize metal-free, ceramic implant materials whenever possible, offering biocompatible solutions that minimize inflammation, eliminate metal sensitivities, and protect both oral and systemic wellness. Because true implant success isn’t just about placement — it’s about full biological integration that supports whole system health.
Choosing Ceramic vs. Metal
Zirconia ceramic implants offer a highly biocompatible, bioinert solution — integrating naturally with bone and soft tissues without provoking inflammation, allergic reactions, or immune responses. For patients with metal sensitivities or concerns about systemic metal exposure, zirconia provides a safe, stable alternative that fully eliminates the risk of corrosion or metal ion release into the body.
At Pearl Haus, we approach every case individually — considering your unique biology, medical history, sensitivities, bone quality, and long-term goals. Whether ceramic or titanium, our focus remains the same: to ensure your implant integrates safely, functions beautifully, and supports your whole-body wellness for years to come.

The Benefits of Ceramic, Metal-Free Dental Implants
Biocompatibility
Zirconia integrates naturally with bone and soft tissue, minimizing inflammation, allergic reactions, or immune responses. With no corrosion or ion release, ceramic implants eliminate concerns about long-term systemic metal exposure. The smooth, non-porous surface of zirconia discourages plaque and bacterial buildup, supporting better gum health and reducing the risk of peri-implantitis and other gum diseases.
Durability & Osseointegration
Zirconia is strong, fracture-resistant, and integrates well with bone, offering stability and longevity comparable to or exceeding that of traditional metal implants. The absence of metal reduces the risk of inflammatory responses and supports healthier soft tissue and natural looking gum adhesion around the implanted tooth.
Aesthetics & Color
Zirconia’s naturally tooth-colored material blends seamlessly with surrounding tissues, eliminating the gray shadows or visible metal edges that can sometimes appear with titanium implants — especially in the front of the mouth or areas with thin gum tissue. Its translucency allows for highly natural, lifelike results that integrate beautifully with your smile and facial harmony.
Restore Your Smile with Ceramic Implants
Regain your confidence with ceramic implants, the modern approach to a complete, natural-looking smile. These biocompatible, metal-free restorations seamlessly blend with your natural teeth while providing the strength and durability needed for everyday life.
Bone Grafting & PRF
When it comes to ensuring the longevity and functionality of your dental implants, proper preparation is key. Dr. Martin Safa brings extensive expertise in bone grafting, a vital procedure for enhancing bone density and supporting implant stability.

The Implant Treatment Process
Planning
Implant placement begins with a comprehensive diagnostic and planning phase designed to ensure complete biological integration. Using advanced 3D imaging, digital scans, bite analysis, airway evaluation, and bone density mapping, we study every detail of your unique anatomy to design the ideal implant position, angulation, and depth. To ensure the highest level of precision, we create custom 3D-printed surgical guides based on your individual anatomy — allowing for exact placement. We consider not only bone volume, but functional bite dynamics, joint stability, facial symmetry, and long-term systemic health — because every implant must integrate seamlessly with your full physiology, not just fit within the bone. This intentional planning process allows us to optimize outcomes, minimize risk, and create restorations that support both function and vitality for years to come.
Placement
Once your personalized plan is complete, we schedule your procedure and walk you through every step with clarity, care, and intention. On the day of placement, we use custom 3D-printed surgical guides to ensure exact implant positioning with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. After placement, we thoroughly cleanse the site using lasers, and medical-grade ozone to neutralize harmful bacteria while preserving the balance of your oral microbiome. We then apply Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), rich in your body’s own growth factors, to promote accelerated tissue healing and natural bone regeneration. This biologically guided approach lays the strongest possible foundation for long-term implant stability, soft tissue integration, and whole-body wellness.
Healing & Osseointegration
Healing begins immediately after placement. While the soft tissues typically heal within 1–2 weeks, full osseointegration — the process where your implant naturally fuses with the bone — continues over several months, often between 3 to 6 months. This gradual integration creates a stable, biologically secure foundation that supports both functional strength and long-term vitality. Throughout this phase, we schedule periodic check-ins using advanced imaging to monitor progress, ensure optimal healing, and guide your care with precision.
Applying the Restoration
Once osseointegration is complete, we carefully design and place your final restoration — whether a single crown, bridge, or full-arch solution. Every restoration is custom-crafted to match your natural tooth anatomy, color, and bite dynamics, using biocompatible ceramic materials that honor both aesthetics and function. With biomimetic precision, we replicate the natural architecture of your teeth — preserving joint balance, optimizing bite forces, and ensuring long-term stability. The result is a restoration that not only looks beautiful but integrates seamlessly with your biology — restoring strength, balance, and confidence for years to come.
