Dental implant procedure time depends on the number of implants and the complexity of your case. It may take up to an hour or longer to place a single dental implant, but your dentist can give you a better estimate through custom treatment planning, which is an important part of implant dentistry.
How Long Does Dental Implant Surgery Take? A Three-Step Process
While the surgery itself may take an hour or more, the entire process involves a few steps.
- Step 1: Consultation with your West Chester Implant Dentist
- Step 2: Treatment Planning and Dental Implant Surgery
- Step 3: Restoration or Prosthetic Placement
First, the dentist evaluates your candidacy for implants. If you are a candidate, we take care of any necessary pre-treatments, plan your dental implant surgery, and then place your implant posts. After these posts integrate into the jawbone, we cap them with custom dental crowns, an implant-supported denture, or a bridge.
These steps require at least three dental appointments, but after treatment, you can enjoy your new smile immediately!
