Initial Consultation and Planning

If you require preparatory procedures, such as tooth extractions or bone grafts, they will occur next. Extractions are straightforward and may take about 1-2 weeks to heal. Bone grafting, on the other hand, is necessary if there’s insufficient bone to support the implant. This procedure involves adding bone material to your jaw, which can take a few months to integrate properly before moving to the next step.

Duration: 1-3 Months

Once your jawbone is ready, the dental implant placement surgery is scheduled. This involves inserting the titanium implant into your jawbone, acting as a new tooth root. Local anesthesia is used, and the procedure takes about 1-2 hours per implant. Post-surgery, you'll need to allow time for osseointegration, where the bone fuses with the implant. This crucial phase can take several months but ensures a strong foundation for your new tooth.

Duration: 3-6 Months

After the implant has successfully integrated with your jawbone, the next step is placing the abutment. This component connects the implant to your new crown. A minor surgical procedure is required, and healing generally takes a couple of weeks. Once healed, your gums will be ready to support the final prosthesis.

Duration: 2-3 Weeks

The last phase is fitting the permanent crown. Your dentist will take impressions of your mouth to create a crown that matches your natural teeth in color and shape. Once the crown is ready, it is securely attached to the abutment. This visit is relatively quick and signals the completion of your dental implant journey.

Duration: 2-3 Weeks
