All treatmentsABOUT THIS TREATMENT
Single dental implant
One missing tooth may be replaced with an implant and a crown. Suitability depends on an assessment of your bone, gums and overall oral health.
Smile by Dr. Bakhtiyar is a dental clinic in Baku, Azerbaijan, that provides dental implant treatment. Implants are planned and placed by implantologist Dr. Bakhtiyar Aliyev, who also leads the crown or prosthesis stage. Every case starts with a clinical examination and a 3D CBCT scan taken at a partner imaging centre close to the clinic, and the implant position is planned digitally around the future tooth. Implant placement starts from 500 AZN depending on the implant system — the full price list is below.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Implant placement costs 500 AZN (NeoBiotech), 800 AZN (MegaGen AnyRidge) or 1700 AZN (Straumann BLT). The crown on the implant, bone grafting or a sinus lift are priced separately. The total depends on the number of implants, the bone and the type of prosthesis and is confirmed after the examination and 3D CBCT. The initial visit with a treatment plan costs 60 AZN; all prices are on the price list.
Implants are planned and placed by implantologist Dr. Bakhtiyar Aliyev, the founder of the clinic; he also oversees the crown or prosthesis on the implant. His state certification and diplomas are published on the Licences & Professional Credentials page.
In almost all cases, yes. A 3D CBCT scan shows the height, width and density of the bone and the position of the nerve and sinus in three dimensions, which a panoramic X-ray cannot. The scan is taken in the clinic.
The surgery is done under local anaesthesia, so pain is not expected during the procedure; you may feel pressure or vibration. Discomfort after the anaesthesia wears off varies from person to person and is usually managed for a few days with the medication prescribed.
The implant needs time to fuse with the bone (osseointegration), usually a few months. A temporary solution can be offered in visible areas. In suitable cases with enough primary stability, early loading is possible — the dentist decides based on measurements.
Often yes. The 3D CBCT shows the exact bone volume. Depending on the deficiency, a shorter or angled implant, bone grafting or, in the upper jaw, a sinus lift may be used — sometimes in the same session as the implant, sometimes beforehand.
The clinic works with NeoBiotech (Korea), MegaGen AnyRidge (Korea) and Straumann BLT (Switzerland). The choice depends on your bone, the position of the tooth and your budget; Dr. Bakhtiyar Aliyev explains the suitable option after the examination. Not every patient receives the same system.
In some cases, yes — on the day of extraction (immediate implantation), if there is no acute infection and the implant can be placed with good primary stability. In other cases the socket is left to heal for 2–3 months first. The dentist decides after a clinical and 3D examination.
Immediate placement means inserting the implant on the day of extraction; immediate loading means fixing a temporary tooth on the implant within the first days. They are separate decisions, and each is possible only when the clinical and radiographic conditions allow it.
There is no single timeline. Placing one implant usually takes 30–60 minutes; osseointegration then takes a few months before the final crown. Bone grafting or a sinus lift extends the timeline. Your schedule is set during planning.
In long-term clinical studies the large majority of implants are still in place after 10 years, but no implant can be guaranteed for life. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, regular check-ups, smoking, general health and biting forces.
Much like a natural tooth: brushing twice a day and cleaning between the teeth, plus regular professional hygiene and check-ups so that problems around the implant are spotted early.
Well-controlled diabetes allows implant treatment with a prognosis close to that of healthy patients; poorly controlled diabetes impairs healing. Smoking increases the risk of implant and bone loss, so stopping around the surgery is strongly advised. Your individual risk is assessed at the consultation.
Neither is better in every case. An implant replaces the tooth without involving the neighbouring teeth and helps preserve bone where it sits; a bridge requires the adjacent teeth to be prepared, which can make sense if they already need crowns. Cost, bone condition, general health and your preferences all matter, and both options are explained at the consultation.
All-on-4 is a fixed full-arch prosthesis supported by four implants for a jaw with no teeth or with teeth that cannot be saved. In many cases it can be done without bone grafting. Suitability is decided after a 3D examination.
Yes. You can send existing X-rays or a CBCT in advance for a preliminary plan; the final plan is confirmed after the examination in Baku. Because of healing time, implant treatment usually takes two trips. Dr. Bakhtiyar Aliyev speaks English and Russian.
