How Long Does the Dental Implant Procedure Take?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains how advancements in dental implant technology, including mini implants, now allow for same-day restorations in many cases. If you are considering dental implants and want to explore immediate treatment options, schedule a free consultation today.

In the past, dental implant placement required a long healing period before a restoration could be placed. Typically, the implant would be inserted and left to heal for three to six months before a crown, bridge, or denture could be attached. During this time, patients had to wait without a permanent restoration.

With advancements in dental implant technology, particularly with mini dental implants, the process is now much faster. In many cases, implants and their restorations can be placed in a single visit. This eliminates the extended waiting period and allows patients to leave the office with a functional, aesthetic restoration immediately after implant placement.

This modern approach provides a significant improvement in convenience, reducing both treatment time and the number of visits required. If you are considering dental implants, we can evaluate your specific case and determine whether immediate restoration is an option for you.
