Zirconia Restorations, Titanium Implants: Is That a DOUBLE STANDARD?

Dr. Robert Stanley Episode 108

In this episode, Dr. Rob breaks down the ongoing debate between titanium and zirconia in implant dentistry. Drawing on his background in engineering, he explains the crucial difference between strength and toughness—and why it matters when choosing restorative materials.

Is it a contradiction to place titanium implants but restore with zirconia? Not at all. Dr. Rob walks through the logic and science behind this common clinical decision and shares how I-bar full arch restorations combine the best of both worlds.
