Healing

To provide a stable basis for the new tooth in the long term, the implant must knit firmly with the bone. The healing period lasts 6-8 weeks on average, depending on the medical situation and bone quality and usually produces no pain or other complaints.

Regular and conscientious oral hygiene is crucial for successful healing. If the dentist’s instructions are followed, the healing period nearly always passes without problems.

In the healing period, an esthetic temporary denture fills the gap until the final denture is fitted. In a few cases and after careful investigation, it is also possible to fix the final restoration when the implant is inserted.
