How many sessions does dental implant treatment take?

· Atayeter Çayırova Oral and Dental Health Clinic

Short answerA standard dental implant treatment is usually completed in 3–4 sessions over 2–4 months. Most of this time is the healing period needed for the implant to fuse with the jawbone.

1. Examination and planning

At the first session, an intraoral examination is performed and bone volume is assessed with 3D tomography. The length, diameter and position of the implant are planned based on these images.

2. Implant placement

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 20–40 minutes for a single implant. Most patients return to their daily lives the next day.

3. Healing period

Fusion of the implant with the bone (osseointegration) takes about 2–3 months in the lower jaw and 3–4 months in the upper jaw. During this period, a temporary tooth can be used in aesthetic areas.

4. Placing the permanent tooth

Once healing is complete, an impression is taken and a permanent porcelain or zirconia tooth is placed within 1–2 sessions.

In cases that require bone grafting, the process may take longer. We confirm the timeline specific to you after your examination.
