The ability to place a dental implant depends on factors such as bone quality, overall health, and the presence of infection. However, in approximately 90 percent of cases, an implant can be placed on the same day as the procedure.

In many instances, within a week or two, a temporary restoration can be attached to the implant, allowing patients to wear their teeth almost immediately. This approach offers a significant advantage over traditional methods, as it minimizes downtime and helps individuals maintain confidence in both professional and personal settings.

This immediate functionality and aesthetic restoration can make a significant difference, ensuring patients avoid the discomfort or embarrassment of being without teeth during the healing process
