All the treatment is completed on the first day of surgery with the surgical time being about 2-3 hours and you will have the remaining teeth removed, implants placed and receive your entire new row of teeth that same day.
However, the entire process lasts about 5 months. It generally takes 2 weeks to plan the case and design your smile prior to the day of surgery. We need to wait 3 months from the day of surgery to ensure there is optimal healing and that the implants have integrated or permanently locked into the bone before we begin to fabricate the final bridge. The final Ceramic on Titanium bridge takes 5 weeks to make from start to finish because of the strength of the materials used. Following delivery of the final bridge we prefer to review your cleaning and maintenance after 1 month of function to ensure there will be no long-term issues.
