Implant
A treatment designed to restore chewing function using an artificial root placed in the jawbone at the site of a missing tooth and a restoration made over it.
A combined assessment of the bone, general health, and final tooth plan.
An implant is an artificial tooth root that can support a fixed or removable prosthesis in cases involving one missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or complete tooth loss.
In selected cases, an implant can be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction. When there is an acute infection, advanced bone loss, or insufficient primary stability, healing after extraction may be required first. Diabetes, medications, smoking, periodontal health, and bone condition are assessed; the HbA1c value helps evaluate treatment risk, but it is not a universal acceptance or rejection threshold on its own, and the patient’s physician is consulted when necessary. Implant loading and completion of the final tooth may be planned on different schedules ranging from approximately three weeks to six months; the timing depends on the implant surface, bone, stability, and general health.


How is suitability determined?
The treatment is selected by jointly evaluating the clinical examination, required imaging, and individual expectations.
“Implant selection and timing are planned according to bone conditions, general health, and the requirements of the final tooth—not according to brand.”
The process step by step
Detailed answers
It is a structure that mimics the root portion of a missing tooth and supports a prosthesis within the jawbone.
A dental implant is an artificial root placed in the jawbone. Suitability is determined by bone volume, infection, gum health, systemic conditions, medications, smoking, and the design of the final restoration. An implant may be placed at the same time as an extraction; however, if there is infection around the root or bone loss, the area may need to heal first. In patients with diabetes, HbA1c and overall metabolic control are evaluated together with the physician; a single value does not determine the decision for every patient. The healing or loading schedule may range from approximately three weeks to six months. A previous implant loss does not automatically make another implant either mandatory or contraindicated.
It may be considered for people with missing teeth who have completed their growth and whose general health, bone, and gum conditions have been evaluated.

Tomography, oral examination, periodontal status, medications, diabetes, smoking, and the prosthetic goal are reviewed.

The process consists of planning, surgical placement, healing, impressions, fabrication of the final tooth, and follow-up.

Local anesthesia controls pain during the procedure; temporary swelling, pain, and bruising may occur afterward.
