How Long Does It Take to Get a Mini Dental Implant?

In some cases, we can remove a tooth and place the implant on the same day. At other times, we need to wait. It will depend on the condition of the tooth and the amount of available bone.

 

If the tooth has already been removed and the site is healed, the process is faster. I can place the implant, build a temporary tooth the same day, scan the area with our digital scanner, and send that scan to the lab to make your final crown. About one to two weeks later, you’ll return so I can cement the final crown in place. In the best-case scenario, a single implant can be completed in roughly two weeks.

 

If we need to extract the tooth first and let the area heal, we typically wait about three to four months before placing the implant. That’s a more traditional timeline. In those cases, the full process can take around four months.

 

So the range is roughly two weeks on the short end and about four months on the long end, depending on your specific situation.
