In short
- Placement is usually a short procedure under local anaesthetic.
- Final teeth usually follow after a few months of healing.
- Temporary teeth on the day are sometimes possible, depending on stability.
The stages
- Consultation, x-rays and 3D scan.
- Any preparation: extractions, gum treatment, grafting.
- Implant placement.
- Healing (osseointegration) while bone grows onto the implant.
- Scan or impression for the final restoration.
- Fitting the final crown, bridge or full-arch teeth.
- Regular check-ups and professional cleaning.

If you travel for treatment
Many international patients plan two trips: one for placement and one for the final teeth a few months later. Full-arch treatment with immediate temporary teeth may follow a different schedule. Always get the plan in writing.
