Timeline varies by patient, but the full process, from evaluation to final restoration, can take 3–6 months. Some of that time is active treatment, but much of it is healing.
What Affects Your Implant Timeline
- Whether we need to remove a tooth first
- Whether you need bone grafting before we can place the implant
- How long your body takes to heal and bond with the implant
- How many teeth are being replaced
Implant Treatment Milestones vs. Completion
Placing the implant is not the same as finishing treatment. After placement, your implant needs time to bond with your jawbone before we can place your final crown. This healing period often takes a few months on its own, so reaching a treatment milestone doesn't mean your smile is complete yet.
Every patient's timeline looks a little different. Your dentist can give you a clearer estimate once your evaluation is complete.
