Why is implant planting time important?
Determining the right time for dental implant is one of the key factors in the success of the treatment. If you wait a long time after tooth extraction, the jawbone starts to erode in the empty area, and this makes implant placement more difficult and expensive.
For example, consider a patient who did not apply for an implant for more than a year after having his molars extracted. At the time of visit, the bone volume had decreased so much that he needed a bone graft and several months of additional treatment. This example shows how important implantation is on time.
If you act early:
- The need for bone grafting decreases.
- The repair process goes faster.
- The natural shape of the jaw and gums is preserved.
- The result of the treatment will be much better in terms of beauty and durability.
When should a tooth be implanted?
The best time for implant placement is usually 2 to 3 months after tooth extraction; However, depending on the condition of the bones and gums, the doctor may recommend taking action sooner or later. If there is an active infection, gingivitis, or bone loss in the area of the missing tooth, the doctor will first perform basic treatments and then determine the exact time for the implant.
In the elderly or patients who are at higher risk due to systemic diseases such as uncontrolled diabetes, the treatment plan is usually more carefully tailored. Also, in some cases, the doctor can perform an immediate implant to prevent bone loss.
If you are concerned about the costs or insurance coverage of this procedure, we suggest you read the following article for details Get to know dental implant with supplementary insurance and the terms of using the insurance.
For whom is the implant suitable?
Dental implant is one of the most effective ways to replace a missing tooth, but not everyone has the same conditions to do it. Implants are usually suitable for those who have good general and oral health and can properly care for the new tooth after surgery. In the following, you can see the most important characteristics of people suitable for implant placement:
- People who have good general health and do not suffer from uncontrolled chronic diseases.
- Those who do not smoke or have limited their use.
- Patients who have enough jawbone to maintain the implant base.
- People who want to restore their natural and beautiful smile.
- Those who observe oral and dental hygiene and go for periodical checkups.
Having these conditions, the probability of successful implant treatment is very high and the patient can enjoy his smile for years with confidence.
For whom implant is not suitable?
Just as not everyone is suitable for implants, some medical or behavioral conditions can reduce the likelihood of this treatment being successful. In general, implants are not suitable for those who have one of the following conditions:
- People with uncontrolled diabetes whose wound healing process is slow.
- Patients with severe osteoporosis who do not have enough jaw bone density to maintain the implant.
- Those who take certain medications such as corticosteroids or anticoagulants and need a more detailed evaluation.
- People who do not observe oral and dental hygiene and the possibility of infection is high in them.
- Heavy smokers whose blood supply to the oral tissues is disturbed.
In these cases, the general condition and oral health of the patient should be checked by a specialist first, so that, if possible, additional treatments can be performed before implant placement.
What factors determine the time of implant?

In deciding when to implant, there are several key factors that greatly influence the right timing. Studies have shown that not only the local health of the teeth and jaw is important, but the general condition of the patient's body also plays a decisive role. (PMC)
In summary, the factors affecting the implant time are:
- Age of the patient: In younger people, the process of bone healing is faster and the waiting time may be shorter.
- Jawbone condition (quality and volume): if there is enough bone and proper density, an implant can be placed sooner; Otherwise, it requires bone grafting, which takes more time. (MDPI)
- Existence of infection or inflammation at the tooth extraction site: If the gum or bone tissue is still infected, the doctor must first treat it before placing the implant.
- General health: chronic diseases such as diabetes, taking drugs that weaken the immune system or thyroid conditions can slow down the healing process.
- Type of selected treatment: immediate implant, early implant, delayed implant
Each of these methods has its own conditions and requires different timing. (PMC)
Summary table of positive and negative factors in determining the right time for implant
| Factor | Positive status (earlier time is possible) | Negative status (must be delayed had) |
| Bone quality and volume | Good density, no need for graft | Bone analysis, need for graft |
| Presence of infection | Site without active infection | Presence of active infection or inflammation |
| Age and ability to repair | Younger repair, Faster | Old age or reduced repair power |
| General health | Controlled diseases, strong immune system | Controlled chronic disease not done, use of debilitating drugs |
| choice of treatment method | immediate or early method (if conditions are ready) | complex conditions that force delay |
Recommendation of gum and implant surgery specialists
Determining the right time for an implant is not something that can be done based on public opinion, this time can only be obtained through a detailed clinical evaluation including intra-oral examinations, examination of the condition of bones, gums, general health and the patient's medical history.
At the international level, many prominent professors emphasize the need for expert advice:
Professor Tomas Albrektsson, one of the pioneers of implantology, is one of those who in analyzing the success criteria of the implant emphasizes that the timing should be based on the bone condition, initial stability, and biological conditions of the patient.

Professor Jocelyne Feine, in research related to implant loading and different times of implant placement, points out that the choice between immediate, early or delayed methods should be based on the specific conditions of the patient.

Therefore, expert consultation with an accredited gum surgeon or implantologist is not only an optional recommendation, but one of the vital pillars to ensure the desired result in implant treatment.
