How long does it take, I mean Ive heard stories where people had to wait almost two years to have implant cases completed?
To answer “how long does it take”, let’s first examine how long it used to take using traditional implant procedures. The surgery would normally involve 6 – 8 implants per arch, bone grafting and perhaps a sinus lift would be recommended. Several visits to the surgeon, restorative dentist, CT Scan facility, and off site dental labs would add to the time table. This could easily translate into the patient being without teeth, or with a temporary denture for 1 – 2 years. Now, with the AO4 procedure (which for the most part eliminates bone grafts and other ancillary procedures): after the initial examinations, any extractions, implant placement, the making of the new temporary implant-supported bridge, and adjustments take one day, and happen in one facility. In one day you will be walking out with a new smile and renewed quality of life. After sufficient healing of the bone (4 – 6 months), your final and permanent tooth supported bridge will be prepared and attached to your implants givi
