Biocompatible dentistry in Marbella
Metal-free materials and the least intervention possible.
What we mean by biocompatible dentistry
We treat oral health as part of general health. In practice that comes down to three criteria: using biocompatible materials, intervening as little as necessary, and supporting the patient’s own regenerative capacity.
This is not an alternative to evidence-based dentistry. It is the same dentistry, applying material selection and minimal-intervention criteria.
Monolithic zirconia, metal-free
Zirconia allows implants and prostheses to be made entirely free of metal. It is particularly indicated for patients with a history of sensitivity or intolerance to metal alloys, and it holds its appearance well over time, without the grey margin that metal substructures can show at the gum line.
Ozone therapy and PRGF
Ozone has an antiseptic action and is used as an adjunct in early caries and in surgery. Plasma rich in growth factors is obtained from the patient’s own blood and used to speed up healing after an extraction or implant surgery.
Minimal intervention
Preserving healthy tooth structure is always the better long-term option. Before preparing or extracting a tooth, we consider whether a more conservative alternative offers an equivalent prognosis.

Why patients in Marbella ask us about this
In Marbella we see many patients who come specifically looking for metal-free solutions, either because of a diagnosed sensitivity or as a personal preference. Our position is simple: if a biocompatible alternative exists with an equivalent prognosis, we put it on the table and explain both.
We work with monolithic zirconia implants and prostheses, use ozone as an antiseptic adjunct and apply PRGF obtained from the patient’s own blood to speed up healing after surgery.
What we do not do is present this as a different kind of dentistry. It is the same evidence-based dentistry, applying material selection and minimal-intervention criteria.
- Metal-free zirconia implants and prostheses.
- PRGF from the patient’s own blood.
- Ozone therapy as an adjunct in early caries and surgery.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 What are the advantages of a zirconia implant over titanium?
Zirconia is ceramic and metal-free, which makes it suitable for patients with a diagnosed sensitivity to metal alloys. Aesthetically it avoids the grey margin that metal substructures can show if the gum recedes. Titanium, for its part, has a longer clinical track record. The choice is made case by case.
02 What is PRGF?
Plasma rich in growth factors: obtained from a sample of the patient’s own blood and applied to the surgical site to speed up healing and reduce post-operative swelling.
03 Does ozone therapy replace a filling?
No. Ozone is a useful antiseptic adjunct in early caries and in surgery, but it does not replace a restoration once tooth structure has been lost.
04 Is this alternative dentistry?
No. It is the same evidence-based dentistry, applying biocompatibility and minimal-intervention criteria to material selection.
