The process of receiving new, permanent teeth is not one that can be accomplished in a single day. Instead, allowing everything to fuse and come together properly takes time and patience. Surgical placement is one of the most pivotal steps in receiving dental implants<\/a>. As you prepare for this procedure, you may wonder how long you can expect it to take. Read on to discover what you can expect and how much time you\u2019ll spend in the operating chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Happens During Dental Implant Surgery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are several steps an implant dentist must take to ensure each titanium post is positioned properly during surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process first includes administering local anesthesia so that you do not feel any pain. Instead, your mouth will remain numb throughout the procedure. If sedation is requested, they will also provide it before starting to place your new implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you are comfortable and feeling no discomfort, they will make small incisions within the gums to expose the empty sockets. Each implant post is then placed into the jawbone and positioned to ensure optimal support over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your gum tissues will be closed, and protective healing caps will be placed over each surgical site for protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Does Surgery Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every patient is different; however, the average timeframe to place each implant is 1-2 hours. If you are preparing to receive multiple dental implants, you can expect that your surgery will take much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, time is not the only thing that will increase when receiving more than one dental implant. The cost will be as well. The good news is that both are worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your ability to enjoy life with a stable, permanent, and fully functional smile will be worth the amount of time spent in the treatment chair as well as the amount of money you can expect to spend on your new teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be able to eat the foods you love as well as speak clearly and smile with confidence \u2013 you cannot put a price tag on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the day of your surgery may be longer than you anticipated, trust that the time you devote to receiving a more permanent and improved smile will lead you to experience life in a new and exciting way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
