About this topic
The implant structure
An area covering artificial tooth roots and restorations that may be planned for missing teeth.
Which conditions are reviewed?
For one or more missing teeth, implant treatment may be assessed alongside bone, gum, general health and expectations.
How is suitability assessed?
Imaging, bone and gum condition, oral hygiene and general health information are reviewed. An implant may not suit every missing tooth.
Main planning stages
- Examining the missing area and nearby tissues
- Reviewing necessary imaging and health information
- Comparing options other than an implant
- Planning healing, restoration and follow-up stages
Healing and care
Oral hygiene, regular reviews and following personal guidance during healing are important.
Caution: Smoking, uncontrolled systemic conditions or limited bone and gum conditions can affect planning. Suitability is determined by examination.
Frequently asked questions
Can everyone have an implant?
Suitability is assessed with bone and gum condition, general health, care capacity and alternatives.
Is implant treatment completed in one stage?
The plan can vary with the site, healing needs and restoration stages.
