| The complete Implant reconstruction process may take from 4 to 9 months and in some cases longer. Time is needed for your jawbone to grow around the Implant and for your replacement teeth to be made. Procedures vary, but it usually includes two surgical steps and then the restoration is fabricated. First, we place the Dental Implants into your jawbone. Bone cells grow around the Implants that may take up to six months to occur. We then make a small incision in the gum tissue and connect a healing post to your Implant(s). The gum tissue heals around the post for a period of 3-6 weeks or longer. We then attach a post and make the replacement teeth. It may take several visits and several months to complete the restoration process.
