Q.
Hello Dr Moore. I am a healthy 19 year old individual, and I need 2 tooth implants. The teeth I require are the first and fourth incisors, and I need a long term solution. I understand the procedure of dental implants using titanium screws and have been advised that this is best option for me. I am asking you whether there is any new technology that would allow dental implants to be put in in under a month, using the titanium screws? Also, what would the possible advantages and disadvantages of this technology be, compared to the procedure that takes approximately 6 months? Thank you.

Hi there. The thing with implants is that the bone needs time to heal, so it is necessary for the treatment to take 3-6 months to complete from the day the implant screw is placed to the fitting of the final crown. Thank you for your question.
