How long does it take to get an implant if I need extractions?
The dental implant fixture needs a snug fit in your jawbone. While your tooth or teeth may be missing, you must have enough bone to hold the implants when it is inserted. You can get your implant fixture inserted on the same day as your extractions. However, the more common approach needs allowing the bone a period of three to six months to heal after extraction before undergoing the surgery.
Is It Possible to Get “Metal-Free” Implants?
All equipment used in tooth replacement or repair have metal iron. Implants containing titanium alloy [3] are the gold standard in surgery because they are compatible with the body chemistry. However, in a bid to get metal-free implants, more studies are ongoing for an alternative. For example, zirconium oxide [4] is a popular metal-free implant alternative.
