The entire process of implant dentistry usually takes about 4-6 months, but for immediate implants, it can usually be done in a few hours or so.
Dental implants refer to a type of missing tooth restoration that uses a lower structure implanted into the bone tissue as a base to support and hold the upper dental restoration. It consists of a lower supporting implant and an upper dental restoration.
The entire process of implant placement usually takes about 4-6 months. Usually, after the implant is placed in the alveolar bone, it takes 3 months to heal and then the crown part of the second implant is restored, which takes about 2-3 weeks, so the total time is usually about 4 months to complete the whole process of dental implant.
If the alveolar bone is in poor condition, artificial bone powder needs to be implanted, or maxillary sinus lift is required, etc., it may take a little longer, about 6 months.
However, for immediate implantation, the implant surgery can be carried out immediately after the extraction of the tooth, and the surgery can usually be completed in a few hours or so.
