Dr. Azadeh Khajavi specializes in full mouth reconstruction using metal-free dental implants, particularly zirconia implants. Zirconia implants have been used since 1987 as an alternative to titanium implants. Some benefits of zirconia implants are that they are designed to withstand force and pressure over time, have a one-piece design that resists potential infections, and can be placed immediately after tooth extraction requiring less invasive surgery.

Since 1994, Dr. Azadeh "Amy" Khajavi has served as a dentist at her own private practice in San
Diego, California. Among her services, Dr. Azadeh Khajavi specializes in full mouth reconstruction
using metal-free dental implants, with a focus on zirconia dental implants.

An alternative to titanium implants, Zirconia implants have been used to replace missing teeth
since 1987. When comparing zirconia implants with titanium implants, studies have shown the two
types of implants have a comparable bone to implant contact, which is an important indicator of the
implant's stability in the patient's mouth. However, zirconia dental implants have been shown to
have several additional benefits.

1. Zirconia dental implants are designed for longevity, including withstanding great force and
maintaining the ability to remain inflexible under pressure.

2. The implants feature a one-piece design, whereas titanium dental implants are produced using
two metal pieces. Zirconia dental implants, as a result, resist the potential infection that sometimes
occurs with the two-piece model.

3. They can be placed immediately after a tooth is extracted, which means a patient experiences a
less-invasive surgery.
