The actual insertion takes only a few minutes per implant. You know the local anesthesia from other normal dental treatments, such as fillings, root canal treatments, or the removal of teeth. Immediately afterwards, or sometimes weeks later, impressions of the oral situation are taken for the tooth replacement. In order to show the public that high-quality premium implants can be placed in any practice without much technical effort, the developer of the MIMI system implanted two patients in a normal commercial aircraft - it is not necessary to turn the treatment room into a sterile operating room for a minimally invasive insertion. In the case of a tooth extraction, the opening might be many times larger than the hole in the MIMI procedure.
