How long is the time frame for immediate dental implants?

Doctor's Answer

The duration of the surgical procedure really depends on the number of implants being placed.

If one implant is placed, removing one tooth, a typical procedure like that could be an hour long. But if you have 2 or 3 immediate implants, that could take up to 2 to 3 hours, sometimes even 4 hours.

Sometimes, when we put immediate implants, we also do simultaneous procedures like a bone graft. Sometimes we do immediate implants with a simultaneous gum graft.

So we can do a few simultaneous procedures with the implant which could lengthen the duration of the procedure.
