How long do dental implants take
Are you considering dental implants and you want to know how long do dental implants take, what is the procedure and how much does the treatment cost.?
Its not unusual to ask these questions, there are a number of steps to be taken before teeth that are missing or badly decayed can be replaced with implants.
The length of time it takes will vary from patient to patient but a good ballpark figure is between 4-6 months.
The procedure
Let’s say that you have a number of teeth in bad condition or none at all, you have contacted us at Hungarian Dentists Wexford for a free consultation.
Our experienced dental team schedule a comprehensive detailed examination including a panoramic xray to check the overall health of your teeth, gums and jawbone.
The jawbone examination is one of the most crucial aspects of dental implantology because there has to be a sufficient amount to support implants.

Anxious about surgery
I know from experience that some patients may be a little bit anxious about a surgical procedure, please don’t worry, you will be sedated.
Dr Borbath has over 30 years experience in dental implants, he will carefully place the implants made from titanium into strategic locations in the jawbone.
This part usually takes 1-2 hours and is normally completed on your first day in our state-of-the-art dental clinic in Hungary.
This step may have to be taken a little bit later if there are issues with insufficient jawbone, if that is so new jawbone will be added to existing jawbone.
Root canal treatment may also be necessary if there the roots or pulp of the tooth becomes infected.
This treatment removes any infection and will take one hour, so its difficult to say exactly how long do dental implants take until you see our dentist.

The dental implants treatment
Following your free consultation our dental team will schedule the dental implants surgery in Perfect Smile Dental Clinic in Hungary.
The titanium implants are placed right below the gums into the jawbone, this takes roughly one to two hours for each one.
The abutment or bridges are placed into or over the dental implants, a set of prosthetic teeth that are temporary are put into place.
All in all, the first phase of this treatment is 7 days, I hope that answers your question about how long do dental implants take during the first part of the treatment.
Once the first phase is completed you return to Ireland to allow time for the titanium implants to fuse with the jawbone.
How long does osseointegration take.?
The fusing with the jawbone is called osseointegration, meaning the new bone must integrate with existing bone, we recommend a period of 4-6 months.
I know this period of waiting is a little frustrating but it will be worth the wait, it’s very important to the success of the treatment.
The second phase or last step is a rather less invasive, no surgery is required as our team place the abutment is in place to take a crown on top.
The artificial crowns are joined to the abutment with dental cement, that step completes the process and is entirely finished in 7 days.
I hope that this information answers all of your questions regarding how long do dental implants take, feel free to call Fintan 0873490104 if you have any further queries.
Recovery time following surgery
Recovery time following surgery will vary from patient to patient, the time it takes will depend on what if any other work had to be done before the implants were placed.
There will be a certain amount of swelling, pain and bruising, how long gums take to heal will come onto it, in general we advise a 2-3 month healing and recovery period.
