Claim:
1. A dental implant comprising a dental implant basic body extending along a longitudinal axis A from an apical end to a coronal end arranged opposite to the apical end, said dental implant basic body comprising an anchoring part facing the apical end and intended to be anchored in bone of a patient, and a head part facing the coronal end and intended to form the basis on which a suprastructure is mounted, said anchoring part comprising a shaft having a basic form that is substantially cylindrical or that tapers in a direction toward the apical end, at least a portion of the shaft forming a bone tissue contact region, the outer surface of which forms a bone tissue contact surface, and a soft tissue contact region being arranged coronally to said bone tissue contact region, the outer surface of the soft tissue contact region forms a soft tissue contact surface, wherein the dental implant further comprises nanostructures formed on the soft tissue contact surface, said nanostructures extending in at least two dimensions to 200 nm at most; and the soft tissue contact surface is macroscopically and microscopically smooth.
