Until recently, the only material available for implants was medical-grade titanium. Pins made of metal and its alloys had proven effective, but were unsuitable for people with metal allergies. Patients often rejected titanium implants for aesthetic reasons. If a patient developed an allergy to the titanium alloy, itching and redness were not the only symptoms; the pins often failed, requiring replacement. Zirconium implants are completely biocompatible and reduce the risk of dental and mucosal diseases. The ceramic surface is smooth and does not accumulate bacteria. Zirconium implants do not show through the gums, which is especially important when restoring front teeth. When gum recession occurs (a volume decrease), the gray stripe of the titanium pin becomes visible. In such cases, the ceramic pin blends seamlessly with the crown.

The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, so there is no pain. Some pain may occur after the anesthesia wears off, but this is normal, as with any surgery. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe a painkiller to relieve pain.

Yes, you can. However, there are usually restrictions on solid foods and alcohol for the first few days.

After implantation, special attention should be paid to oral hygiene, as the success of implant healing (osseointegration) depends on the quality of oral care. With traditional implantation with sutures, oral hygiene is performed using a soft toothbrush and antibacterial toothpaste. White plaque left after dental implantation can be removed with cotton swabs soaked in gel or solution.
