How Long Does it Take to Get Dental Implants?

What Makes You A Candidate For Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the most popular dental restoration procedures done today. They help replace missing teeth, and give patients that bright white smile. There are a few types of dental implants available, and at Fusion Dental Care we build a customized treatment plan to fit each patient’s needs.

How Long Does It Take to Install Traditional Dental Implants?

Traditional dental implants take multiple appointments, and are used for patients that have missing, broken, or cracked teeth. Typically implants have a two-step process. The first step is to place the implant in the jawbone. After this is complete there is a healing process that must allow the implant time to fuse to the jawbone.

We evaluate our patients to determine if they have enough bone present in the jaw to support the implants. If required, bone grafting can be done to give patients that additional support needed. This is an additional step that may be needed.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Traditional Dental Implant Treatment?

The healing process for dental implants takes a few months and this varies per patient. Once the healing process is complete, an abutment or connector is used and placed on top of the implant. This allows the crown to affix on top. Crowns are custom made to match the shape, size, and color of your tooth and is affixed securely to the implant. Temporary crowns may be used until the permanent crown is ready to be installed.

Implants are permanent, and provide a reliable and durable solution for patients. They are built to last upwards of 25 years or a lifetime if they are cared for properly. Overall the implant process takes anywhere from four to six months to fully heal with multiple appointments required.

How Long Does It Take To Get Teeth in a Day Dental Implants?

Teeth in a Day is another option offered and provides implants to patients in just one appointment. Traditionally dental implants take multiple appointments, but this option can give patients a beautiful smile in one day. Lab equipment is located in our office, and our skilled doctors can place the implant that day while you are comfortable and sedated.

Teeth in a Day involves four implants placed in the top or bottom of your mouth. With this option implants are not needed for each tooth. This option is gaining popularity amongst patients who seek a quick solution, and a less invasive procedure.
