Advanced Colour Anodising of Implant Components

The “grey effect” has long been a challenge in implant dentistry. Even the most translucent, high-end zirconia can lose its vitality when placed over a dark titanium abutment or bar. Our Zirkonzahn Anodising System provides a sophisticated solution that masks metal without compromising the precision of our CAD/CAM milled components.

Eliminate Grey Translucency Without Opaque

Traditionally, technicians had to use thick layers of messy, light-blocking “opaque” to hide metal substructures. This often resulted in bulky restorations and a loss of natural depth.

Anodising reduces the grey translucency of the underlying implant component(s) and underlying implant bar substructures without the need for unnecessary opaque. By changing the surface colour of the metal itself, we create a warm, natural foundation that allows the porcelain or zirconia to shine through with true-to-life colour.

22 Colours for Total Aesthetic Control

Every patient’s gingival (gum) tone and tooth shade is unique. Our system offers unparalleled versatility to match any clinical scenario:

• With 22 colours to choose from, there is no more need for underlying greyness.

• Whether you require a Gold hue to warm up a crown, a Pink tone to blend with the soft tissue, or even a Blue for component identification, we can customise the finish to your exact needs.

• Titanium denture anodising is available in any colour of choice, ensuring that even the removable components of a high-end partial or overdenture meet the highest aesthetic standards.

Preserving Biocompatibility

While the visual change is dramatic, the structural and biological integrity of the titanium remains untouched.

• The high biocompatibility of the implant material remains unchanged by the anodising process.

• Because the colour is created by an oxide layer (not a coating or dye), there is no risk of chipping, peeling, or adverse tissue reactions.

• In fact, the smooth, anodised surface can actually help reduce plaque accumulation compared to raw machined metal.
