The surgical stage
Placement time depends on the number of implants, whether teeth must be removed and whether grafting is needed. Several implants may be placed during the same visit, but same-day surgery does not automatically mean same-day permanent teeth.
Healing and osseointegration
The implant needs time to integrate with the surrounding bone. This is usually measured in months rather than days. The upper or lower jaw, bone quality, smoking, systemic health and accompanying surgery can affect the recommended healing period.
The final restoration
Digital records or impressions, try-ins and bite adjustments are completed before the final crown, bridge or full-arch restoration is fitted. The objective is a stable, cleansable and comfortable restoration, not simply filling the space as quickly as possible.
