One of the most common revision procedures we perform does not involve the implants at all — it involves replacing the prosthesis. Many patients received acrylic (PMMA) or metal-acrylic hybrid bridges that are now staining, cracking, or promoting peri-implantitis.
When Your Implants Are Fine But Your Teeth Are Not
If CBCT imaging confirms your implants are well-positioned and fully osseointegrated, we can design and fabricate a new monolithic zirconia prosthesis to fit your existing implants. The process takes 2–3 visits: impressions/scans, try-in, and final delivery. No surgery required.
Benefits of Upgrading
Zirconia is stain-proof (your teeth will never discolor), plaque-resistant (reducing infection risk), metal-free, and built to last 15–20+ years versus 3–5 for acrylic. Clinical data shows 93.7% survival at 5 years versus 83% for acrylic.
Cost
A prosthetic-only upgrade (no surgery) typically ranges from $8,000–$15,000 per arch depending on your implant configuration. Financing available. Schedule a free evaluation to determine if your implants can support a zirconia upgrade.
Considering new full-arch implants? At Granite Bay, every new case receives zirconia as standard — so you will never need this upgrade.
