How long does treatment take?
For routine cases, from the time of placing the implant to the time of restoring the teeth, treatment times can vary between 6 weeks and 9 months. The availability of good bone decreases treatment time, whilst more time and care is needed if a bone graft is required. You may need to be prepared to be patient and allow nature to take its course to ensure that your implant has the best possible chance of success.

What are the stages for implant treatment?
Implant site treatment is comprised of 4 stages.
Stage 0: consists of assessment and extraction if necessary
Stage 1: consists of implant placement and possible bone augmentation
Stage 2: consists of removal of the implant protective cover screw and placement of the healing cap which will confirm the rigidity of the implant and help shape the gum cough around the implant to receive a tooth
Stage 3: is the restoration construction which could be a denture, bridge, or crown.
The time scales between these stages vary depending on your presentation and your periodontist or dentist will explain them in detail. The need for bone augmentation can increase the treatment time scales and you must be prepared to be patient in order to achieve the best possible results.
