Who may be suitable for dental implants?
Suitability is assessed individually. The dentist considers bone availability, gum health, bite, smoking, diabetes control, medicines, previous infection and the patient’s ability to maintain oral hygiene. Some conditions do not automatically prevent treatment but may change risk or timing.
What are the treatment stages?
1. Assessment
Clinical examination, medical history and appropriate imaging are reviewed before a definitive plan.
2. Site preparation
Extraction, infection management or bone grafting may be required in selected cases.
3. Implant placement
The implant is positioned according to the restorative plan. Immediate loading is not suitable for every site.
4. Final restoration
After suitable healing, the abutment and crown, bridge or full-arch restoration are completed.
Can implants be completed in one visit?
Some patients can receive an implant and a temporary tooth during one trip, but biological healing still continues afterward. Other cases require two visits separated by several months. “Same-day teeth” usually describes a temporary restoration, not the completion of every healing stage.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a dental implant take?
The surgical appointment may be relatively short, but the complete pathway can take months when healing is required before the final restoration.
Is bone grafting always required?
No. It is considered when available bone is insufficient for the planned implant position or contour.
Can smokers have implants?
Smoking can increase healing and complication risks. Suitability and risk-reduction steps should be discussed honestly with the clinician.
Do implants last forever?
No lifetime result can be guaranteed. Hygiene, professional maintenance, health, smoking and bite forces influence longevity.
