Go Metal-Free With NobelPearl®
Dental implants are the healthiest way to restore your smile — and NobelPearl features all-ceramic, metal-free dental implants. They’re custom-crafted to look and feel like your natural teeth while providing a permanent solution to missing teeth. And since there’s never a dark metal “shadow” with all-ceramic implants, your smile will always shine brightly.
Most dental implants are secured in place using a titanium fixture, but titanium is a type of metal, and many of our patients prefer metal-free restorations, especially patients who are allergic or sensitive to metal restorations. Our expert dentist is proud to serve California patients in Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Irvine and the surrounding areas looking for a holistic way to restore their smile.

Benefits of Choosing Balboa Island Dentistry
Beautiful Crowns from Katana™ — At Balboa Island Dentistry, we feature attractive zirconia crowns from Katana. Zirconia is a durable, translucent, ceramic material that will improve the aesthetics of any smile. We work closely with our local Katana milling center to design and manufacture dental crowns that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
All-White and Completely Stainless — NobelPearl is the first 100% metal-free dental implant. Because there’s no visible metal fixture to tarnish your implants, they’ll remain entirely white. Our metal-free implants are completely resistant to stains and safe for your lasting oral health.
Reserved Parking on Balboa Island — You won’t have to drive in circles looking for somewhere to park. Balboa Island Dentistry has three reserved parking spaces to accommodate you during your visit.
Technology
Dr. Alfano is certified by the American Board of Prosthodontics and has extensive experience and training in placing dental implants for optimal performance and appearance.
To enhance the implant placement process, Dr. Alfano features computer-milled surgical guides which serve as a sort of GPS for surgery. Our advanced digital imaging technology allows us to locate the perfect spot to place your implants. We’ll then utilize this data to create the custom surgical guide that Dr. Alfano will use during your implant placement.
