You might love thinking about having dental implants in your smile in place of missing teeth. However, when you start learning more about placement and the complete, sometimes lengthy process, you might begin wondering if it will be overwhelming. Are there options for speeding up the experience, you wonder? Does everything take a long time? The truth is, osseointegration can take a while when you’re choosing traditional implants. However, the rest of the process is actually surprisingly convenient. Consider a few details.
Traditional Placement Is Quick
When you opt for a traditional dental implant, you know that you’ll be experiencing healing for a few weeks and then long-term recovery time, during which the implant and your jaw tissue fuse to become a single entity! Good news: Placement takes about an hour or less, so it’s very convenient.
Immediate Implants Are Very Quick
Going for an immediate dental implant? This will lead you toward an even more surprisingly convenient process. If you qualify, we may be able to perform any necessary extraction, place the implant, and even restore it all within one visit.
It Won’t Disrupt Your Life
Hoping you don’t have to stay home for a long time after you receive your dental implant? No problem! You’ll most likely be able to return to whatever it is you have scheduled (work, school, etc.) the day after placement.
