How long does a dental implant placement take?

The procedure chosen depends on several factors, such as your dental health, the number of teeth involved and which teeth are replaced. These factors will also determine the total number of visits to the dentist.

State-of-the-art guided surgical techniques allow you to have the dental implant placed in a single session using keyhole surgery. This new method has greatly simplified the procedure for both patients and dentists. The major advantage is the minimal amount of manipulation of the soft tissue needed. This significantly reduces the healing time and the discomfort normally associated with traditional dental implant surgical techniques.

The conventional process can take from three to six months. After placing the dental implant, it is left for three to six months to heal and integrate with the jawbone. You’ll have a temporary prosthesis until the permanent crown is put in place.
