Dental Implant Treatment Duration
Dental implant treatment typically spans several months to reach completion.
The crux of any medical procedure lies in accurately formulating the diagnosis and devising the subsequent treatment plan.
For instance, when a tooth is lost, the duration since its extraction or loss due to an accident determines the extent of supporting bone loss. In such scenarios, a bone graft may be necessary to develop sufficient bone for implant placement.
However, with meticulous planning, it’s feasible to consider implant placement within 3 to 8 weeks post-extraction. Subsequently, it takes approximately six weeks for the implant to integrate firmly into the bone, facilitating the attachment of a crown, bridge, or occasionally, a precision component for denture retention onto the integrated dental implant.

Initial Consultation:
Bone Augmentation:
Implant placement
Healing & integration
The titanium post requires some time to allow the bone and gum to heal around it before it can support a new tooth. This period is crucial as it allows the titanium to fuse with the surrounding bone, a process known as biological integration.
Biological integration typically takes between eight and twelve weeks. Once the implant has successfully integrated with the bone, it establishes a sturdy and stable foundation for the new crown or bridge.
Restoring
After successful integration of your implant with the bone, we proceed to restore the implant. Following scans to assess the implant’s position relative to your other teeth and structures, the final ‘implant teeth’ can be custom-designed, fabricated, and securely attached to the implant either through cementation or screwing. Once fitted, they will closely resemble, feel, and function like a natural tooth.
For routine cases, treatment durations typically range from 6 weeks to 6 months, starting from the implant placement to the crown fitting.
Post-Treatment Care:
Implants represent a significant investment in your health and well-being. With proper aftercare, they can endure a lifetime.
Ensuring the long-term success of your implants entails diligent maintenance. Just like natural teeth, implants necessitate regular check-ups and meticulous oral hygiene. By adhering to these practices, your implants can be preserved for many years to come.
