While it is possible to receive a same-day implant, a more gradual approach is recommended for improved predictability and cost-effectiveness for most patients. Typically, after tooth extraction, we advise waiting for 6-12 weeks before placing the implant to allow for proper healing and bone attachment. The process of fitting a dental implant usually involves a waiting period of 6-12 weeks for the bone to fuse with the implant, followed by the fabrication of the final crown, which takes approximately 2 to 4 weeks. The overall timeline for completing a dental implant can range from 3 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
