Metal-Free Ceramic Dental Implants In Golders Green
A ceramic dental implant replaces a missing tooth without any metal. It is made from zirconia, a strong, white ceramic, and replaces the root of the tooth to support a custom ceramic crown. Because it is white throughout, there is no grey shadow at the gum line, which can make a difference for front teeth or thinner gums.
At Lotus Clinic, ceramic implants are placed by Dr Emanuele Clozza using the SDS system from Swiss Dental Solutions, on which he trained directly with the manufacturer. Titanium implants remain available, and your consultation with a 3D scan will cover which option suits you best.

- The SDS range includes one-piece and two-piece implants in more than 50 shapes, so the implant can be matched to your case.
- Placement is often possible on the same day the tooth is removed, where clinically suitable.
- The SDS system is CleanImplant Foundation certified and placed by Dr Clozza, who trained directly with the manufacturer.

Why We Use The SDS Ceramic Implant System
Swiss Dental Solutions specialises in ceramic dental implants and offers a wide range of one-piece and two-piece zirconia implant designs.
The SDS system includes more than 50 implant shapes and sizes, allowing Dr Emanuele Clozza to select an implant that is appropriate for each individual case. Where clinically suitable, the system can also allow an implant to be placed on the same day that a tooth is removed.
SDS implants are CleanImplant Foundation certified, and Dr Clozza has trained directly with Swiss Dental Solutions in the use of the system.
Dr Clozza has a special interest in dental implants and periodontology and will assess your suitability using a clinical examination and 3D CT scan before recommending either a ceramic or titanium implant.
