Bredent Zirconium Implant
Bredent zirconium implants are metal-free, highly biocompatible implant systems used to restore missing teeth. They provide a natural appearance, particularly in patients with high aesthetic expectations, due to their tissue-friendly structure. These implants carry a low risk of allergies and integrate well with both soft and hard tissues in the mouth. They can be placed in a clinical setting under local anesthesia or sedation, and in cases requiring advanced surgery, they can also be placed under general anesthesia in an operating room.
What is a Zirconium Implant?
Zirconium implants are dental implants made from zirconia-based ceramic materials instead of titanium. They are a safe option for patients with metal sensitivities. Since they do not produce dark reflections at the gum line, they offer a significant aesthetic advantage, especially in the anterior region. Their surface structure allows strong osseointegration, ensuring long-term stability.
When Are Bredent Zirconium Implants Recommended?
They are preferred for patients with metal allergies, single-tooth gaps in aesthetic zones, those at risk of gum recession, and treatments where biological compatibility is a priority. Success rates are higher in patients who maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular follow-up appointments.
Precautions Before Zirconium Implant Placement
The patient’s overall health, systemic conditions, and current medications should be carefully evaluated by the dentist. Radiographic examinations are necessary to ensure the jawbone has sufficient volume for implant placement. Maintaining proper oral hygiene, including brushing and using antiseptic mouthwash before the procedure, helps reduce the risk of infection.
Care After Zirconium Implant Placement
For the first 24 hours after the procedure, the implant area should be protected, and hot foods and beverages should be avoided. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided as they can negatively affect healing. Medications prescribed by the dentist should be taken as directed, and oral hygiene should be maintained carefully using a soft toothbrush. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the health of the tissues surrounding the implant.
