Metal-Free Dental Implants for Natural, Biocompatible Restoration

Dr. Paul O';Malley leads one of Los Angeles' most advanced holistic and biomimetic dental practices. Located in Encino and serving patients across the greater Los Angeles area and the world, he offers comprehensive zirconia dental implant restoration—a metal-free, biologically compatible solution for patients seeking the most natural and holistic approach to tooth replacement.

While Dr. O'Malley does not perform the surgical placement of implants in-office, he is the master planner and restoring dentist, overseeing every detail of the diagnostic, design, and restorative phases. He partners with a select group of vetted, world-renowned oral surgeons who place the implants under his direction and treatment plan. Once healed, patients return to Dr. O'Malley for the custom-crafted final restorations designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Zirconia implants combine strength, aesthetics, and safety, offering a long-lasting foundation for beautiful, functional smiles without the potential sensitivities associated with metal-based systems. For patients who value whole-body health and purity of materials, zirconia represents the future of implant dentistry.

What Are Zirconia Dental Implants?

Zirconia dental implants are crafted from medical-grade zirconium dioxide: a ceramic material known for its durability, biocompatibility, and non-reactive nature.

Unlike titanium implants, zirconia is completely metal-free, eliminating the possibility of galvanic reactions or corrosion in the mouth.

Benefits of Zirconia Implants:

  • Metal-free construction: Ideal for patients with metal sensitivities or holistic preferences.
  • Biocompatibility: Gentle on the body, reducing inflammation and allergic response.
  • Aesthetic excellence: Naturally white, non-translucent base for seamless results under the gums.
  • Corrosion resistance: Will not conduct electricity or react with other dental materials.
  • Hygienic surface: Naturally resists plaque and bacterial buildup.
  • Long-term durability: Designed to integrate securely with bone for lasting strength.

Zirconia implants reflect Dr. O’Malley’s philosophy of combining modern science with nature’s wisdom: creating restorations that restore both beauty and biological balance.

Our Holistic Zirconia Implant Process

Dr. O’Malley’s zirconia implant process are guided by precision, safety, and a deep understanding of the biological systems involved in healing. While he does not perform the surgical placement, his team orchestrates the entire treatment from start to finish.

Our collaborative implant approach includes:

  1. Comprehensive evaluation: Full diagnostic assessment including 3D imaging and bone analysis.
  2. Personalized planning: Dr. O’Malley maps each implant’s position and designs the full restorative plan before any surgery occurs.
  3. Referral to elite, vetted surgeons: Implant placement is performed by world-renowned oral surgeons hand-selected and trusted by Dr. O’Malley.
  4. Healing and integration: The zirconia implant integrates naturally with the bone through osseointegration.
  5. Biomimetic restoration: Once healed, Dr. O’Malley designs and places the final crowns or bridges, replicating natural enamel and tooth form.

The result is a restoration that looks natural, feels comfortable, and supports long-term health without compromising biological integrity.

Titanium vs. Zirconia Implants

Both titanium and zirconia implants have their advantages, and the best choice depends on individual health needs and goals.

Titanium Implants

  • Proven track record of success spanning decades
  • More flexible under heavy bite forces
  • Often used in complex full-arch reconstructions

Zirconia Implants

  • 100% metal-free and biocompatible
  • White, tooth-colored appearance for aesthetic harmony
  • Non-conductive and corrosion-resistant
  • Ideal for patients prioritizing holistic, non-metal dentistry

Dr. O’Malley provides a balanced, informed consultation to help each patient select the implant system best suited to their biology, goals, and lifestyle. Although he does not surgically place implants, he ensures each case is thoughtfully designed so that the implant system, placement, and final restoration work together seamlessly.

The Biomimetic Advantage

What truly distinguishes Dr. O’Malley’s zirconia implant restorations is his biomimetic technique: the art and science of mimicking nature’s design. Every restoration is shaped, layered, and bonded to function like a natural tooth, preserving as much healthy structure as possible and avoiding aggressive crown work. Our biomimetic principles include:

  • Preservation of natural bone and soft tissue
  • Layered restorative materials that mirror real enamel and dentin
  • Avoidance of toxic metals, mercury, or fluoride-based sealants
  • Seamless integration with surrounding teeth for balanced function

This ensures your implant restoration doesn’t just replace what was lost; it becomes part of a healthier, more natural system of care.

I've been terrified of the dentist since I was little until I started going to Dr. Paul O'Malley! He is the most gentle and kind dentist, the whole staff is so friendly and never makes me feel scared or ashamed of any teeth problems. After years of dental issues, Dr. OMalley did my veneers. The process was so easy and painless, and now I feel very confident in my smile and want to take care of my teeth again. I highly recommend!!

Dr. O’Malley and his staff are wonderful. This office is peaceful and the information he provides in advance of treatments and even exams is extremely thorough. My orthodontist recommended him to save a tooth w/ biomimetic dentistry that almost needed a root canal… To quote that doctor - “ If it was anyone else, I’d say you’d be back seeing me for a root canal in a year, but I trust O’Malley’s work.” He was right! The handiwork is clean and the results look terrific. Highly recommend!

I went to see Dr. O'Malley after bad experiences with numerous dentists. I had previously read about biomemetic dentistry and was very interested. My concern was to restore a tooth that was sensitive and beginning to hurt. My previous dentist said that tooth was no good and needed to come out. I was also interested in removing several Mercury fillings. From the first day I was very impressed with the atmosphere and level of care. After the x-rays and consultation with Dr. O'Malley, we agreed on proceeding with my care plan. The level of care was exceptional and beyond anything I had ever experienced with traditional dentistry.

I highly recommend Dr. O'Malley who is truly an expert in Biomemetic dentistry, he is honest, patient, and very methodical. He and his entire staff were very caring and made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY!
I’ve but a lot of thought into what I wanted to say about Dr. O’Malley and his office. Before going to see him I had been researching and researching which holistic/natural dentist to see. After hours of studying up on Dr. O’Malley, I decided to go see him. I used to have a major phobia of going to the dentist— so much so that it put me off of doing it for years! But as soon as I met with Dr. O’Malley and his team that all changed!! The environment is designed to be completely soothing, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and Dr. O’Malley was exactly what I had been searching for. He took the time to make sure I understood what was needed every step of the way to restore my mouth and give me the smile I’d always wanted! There was genuine care and one-on-one assistance in making that happen from him and the entire team! Going to see Dr. O’Malley was the BEST INVESTMENT in myself I’ve ever made! He really is the OG in holistic dentistry!
