From surgery to crown delivery at Dr. Maryam Ebrahimi’s clinic
If you are considering getting implants and want to know “How long does the dental implant process take?”, this article is your complete guide. A dental implant is a specialized treatment that replaces the root of a missing tooth, creating a natural look and function similar to that of a natural tooth. However, the exact treatment duration depends on various factors.
Dental implant steps
۱. Initial consultation and review
During the first session, the condition of the jawbone and gum health are assessed, and a specific treatment plan is designed based on the CBCT or OPG image. This stage usually takes 1 to 2 weeks.
۲. Implant base surgery
In this step, the titanium base of the implant is placed into the jawbone.
The surgery is usually performed in one session under local anesthesia.
3. Bone fusion period
After surgery, the jawbone gradually attaches to the implant base.
The duration of this stage depends on the type of implant:
Korean BioTEM implant: about 3 months
Swiss IML Implant: About 1 month
This time the body has time to fully accept the implant base and increase its stability.
4. Abutment installation and impression taking
After the implant is fully fused, the abutment is placed and an impression is taken. This part usually takes a few days to two weeks.
5. Delivery of the final coating
Finally, a zirconia or ceramic crown is placed over the implant and the tooth’s function is restored.
Approximate duration of dental implants
Under normal conditions (without bone grafting):
⏱ It takes 3 to 4 months to install the final crown.
If bone grafting or additional treatments are needed:
⏱ 6 to 9 months is the normal time.
What factors affect the length of treatment?
Jawbone quality and gum health
Brand and type of implant
General health (diabetes, smoking, medications)
Number of implants
The surgeon’s skill and the technique used
