Q. I ave had problems with my teeth since I can remember and am now going tot ake the plunge and get a dental implant in hope that this will finally sort out the trouble I have had. However, I don’t want to be walking around with gaps in my teeth when I get the dental implant and wait for an attachment. Could you please tell me how long the whole process takes from getting a tooth extractes, then the implant and then finally a fake tooth attached to this?
A. hi many thanks for your email, the whole procedure generally takes 20 weeks from tooth extraction stage.
1:tooth is extracted, and the site left to heal for 8 weeks.
2:implant placed, left to heal for 8-10 weeks.
3:impression of the implant to make the final crown
4:placement of final crown two – three weeks after impression stage.
hope this is helpful.
