When time is precious and style is premium

Our Patient's View

After my dental surgery, I could not believe how fast and painless the dental system was. The next day I was able to return to my normal routine.

How long does it take?

The answer to this question depend upon the type of dental implant treatment provided.

"Teeth In A Day" treatment allows patients to have fixed teeth from the very first day of treatment.

Conventional dental implant treatment is described below:
The complete implant reconstruction process may take from 4 to 9 months and in some cases longer. Time is needed for your jawbone to grow around the implant and for your replacement teeth to be made. Procedures vary, but it usually includes two surgical steps and then the restoration is fabricated. First, your dentist or a specialist places the dental implants into your jawbone. Bone cells grow around the implants that may take up to six months to occur. Your dentist or the specialist then makes a small incision in the gum tissue and connects a healing post to your implant(s). The gum tissue heals around the post for a period of 3-6 weeks or longer. Your dentist then attaches a post and makes the replacement teeth. It may take several visits and several months to complete the restoration process.
