Flexibility to Biocompatibility: The Rise of PEEK Dental Blocks in Dentistry
PEEK dental blocks are changing the way dental professionals approach restorations and implants. This high performance thermoplastic, is known as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), offers great strength, flexibility and is biocompatible.
In this article, we’ll discuss what makes PEEK blocks special, what they are used for, and why HaHasmile® is a trusted manufacturer.
What Are PEEK Dental Blocks?
Polyetheretherketone is tough and versatile material, and dental blocks are manufactured from it. These blocks are used by dentists with CAD/CAM systems to produce dental restorations of highly precise standards. PEEK provides durability and comfort whether it’s a crown or an implant. Unlike metal or ceramic, it is able to resist wear, corrosion and high temperatures.
We, a direct manufacturer with over a decade of experience, offer dental blocks in various sizes — 98mm, 95mm, and 71mm — and thicknesses from 12mm to 25mm. Colors like natural, white, beige, and pink ensure a perfect match for every patient.
Why PEEK Dental Blocks Stand Out
So, what makes dental blocks so popular? Let’s break it down:
- Lightweight Comfort: PEEK’s low density means restorations feel natural and comfortable.
- Bone-Like Flexibility: Its elasticity mirrors human bone, reducing strain on surrounding tissues.
- Strong Yet Gentle: With a high strength-to-weight ratio, PEEK is durable without harming opposing teeth.
- X-ray Friendly: PEEK lets X-rays pass through, making it easy to check underlying structures.
- Allergy-Free: As a metal-free option, it’s perfect for patients sensitive to metals.
- Easy Maintenance: The smooth surface resists stains and is simple to clean..
How Are PEEK Dental Blocks Used?
PEEK dental blocks shine in many dental applications. Here’s how they’re making a difference:
- Removable Dentures: PEEK’s flexibility creates sturdy yet lightweight denture frameworks.
- Crowns and Bridges: Dentists use PEEK as an internal structure, topping it with porcelain for a natural look.
- Implants: Its biocompatibility makes PEEK ideal for stable, bone-friendly implants.
- Orthodontics: From wires to space maintainers for kids, PEEK offers strength and flexibility.
Imagine a patient needing a partial denture. With dental blocks, the dentist crafts a lightweight, durable piece that fits perfectly — comfort guaranteed!
