How long will dental implant surgery take?
There are generally four stages associated implant surgery. Setting up may include draping the surgical area to make it sterile. Second is examination and to administer local anaesthetic.
The third phase is the surgery itself and the fourth phase is recovery and assistance. For a single tooth implant the entire procedure may take as little as 20 minutes.
It is uncommon for more extensive surgery although bone grafting may lengthen the procedure.
