Thank you for asking this very important question.
Bleeding gums is a symptom of problems with your gums. I will suggest you schedule an appointment ASAP with periodontist (gum specialist) to diagnose and treat the condition.

Thank you for you question.
It all depends if the implant was placed at the time of the extraction, several months after the extraction or years after the extraction. Ceramic implants are much more biological and gum loves them compared to titanium implants. It also depends on the comorbidity and the strength of the immune system.
