Q. Why does the dental implant procedure take quite so long? Is it because of the healing time or some other factor?
A. hi many thanks for your email, a dental implant once placed in the jaw bone, needs to integrate(weld) to the bone, before a crown can be placed on top of it. this integration takes around 10 weeks to occur. once the implant has integrated an impression is taken of the implant and crown made which can take another 2-3 weeks. so all together the whole procedure would be 12-14 weeks long.
