Generally speaking, you can expect the implant procedure to take about 1-2 hours for each implant that is being placed, with a healing time of 3-6 months total. The process for your procedure may take a longer or shorter amount of time depending on a variety of factors including the extent of damage in your mouth, any further issues that get uncovered during the procedure, and any challenges that arise during the implantation process. Believe it or not, this is actually the most rapid healing and recovery time you will find with any medical implant process! Each phase of the process will add a bit of time as well, including the evaluation and preparation phase, the artificial root placement phase, and the recovery time. Don’t hesitate to share all your questions and concerns with your dentist!
