there are some bioceramic implants like zirconia

Yes! Zirconia is the safest route , since titanium implants always have trace amounts of other metals, as far as I know.
If the patient doesn’t want zirconia (cost is higher), you can contact implant companies to request a report. They should be able to tell you what metals they use and percentages.
