Traditional dental implant treatment involves an exam by your dentist, placement of the implants by your dentist or a specialist, several months of healing time, then creation of your prosthesis (new teeth) by a specially trained restorative dentist. The entire process takes up to 12 months, or more. Newer technologies (such as the 3-D CAT scanning, implant design and treatment protocols) allow new teeth to be placed the same day as the dental implants, greatly reducing treatment times.
