How long does it take to implant a tooth

The time it takes to implant a tooth varies according to the specific condition of the patient’s teeth. The overall treatment procedure for artificial dental implants takes about 3-6 months and is generally divided into the following three phases: 1. Pre-operative examination and formulation of implant treatment plan. A systematic examination of the missing teeth site and overall oral condition, including taking X-rays, is performed and treated accordingly. According to the patient’s specific situation, the implant treatment plan will be made, and an appointment will be made for the implant surgery; 2. The implant surgery stage, usually under local anesthesia, the artificial tooth root and implant will be implanted into the alveolar bone through surgery. Usually, it takes 10-30 minutes to implant an implant, and there is no pain during the surgery, and the reaction after the surgery is relatively small. However, if there is insufficient bone at the site of the missing tooth, artificial bone powder will need to be implanted to supplement the bone, and the surgery will take a little longer and be more traumatic. But overall, implant surgery is a less traumatic oral outpatient surgery, patients do not need to be hospitalized after implant surgery, and eat normally on the same day. However, the dietary requirements are to eat softer food, no brushing or rinsing within 24 hours, and oral anti-inflammatory drugs for 3-5 days. After planting the artificial tooth root, it takes 3-6 months to combine the artificial tooth root with the alveolar bone, during this time the patient can wear temporary dentures, and temporary dentures need to be adjusted by the doctor; 3, do the upper part of the restorations, 3-6 months after the implantation surgery, the artificial tooth root and the alveolar bone are completely combined with the implant after the beginning of the crown restoration process. The process takes about 1 month, the doctor to take the model, make the tooth, the patient back to the hospital, the doctor will wear the tooth to the implant root.
