How Long Does the Dental Implant Procedure Take?
The dental implant procedure timeline is different for everyone. Various factors contribute to how long the procedure takes, including the number of teeth being replaced, your present dental health, which tooth (teeth) is being replaced, and if you need extractions or bone regeneration before the implant is inserted. Dental implants usually occur in two phases and the factors listed above affect the timeline. The procedure may take longer if you require one or more extractions. Another factor affects how long the procedure will take is if you need bone grafts or other procedures before your periodontist can place the dental implant fixture.
