How long does a complete fixed implant reconstruction take?

The process starts with extractions and any bone augmentation required (3 to 6 months of healing). Implant placement follows, with an osseointegration period of 3 to 6 months. Immediate loading with a temporary denture is sometimes possible. Fabrication of the final prosthesis takes 4 to 6 weeks after impressions. Complex cases involving sinus lifts take longer. Removable restorations are used during the healing phases. Interim assessments check bone integration and pressure points. The total timeline can extend to 12 months for extensive reconstructions. Careful planning minimises unforeseen delays. Patient satisfaction is high once treatment is complete, despite the long wait.
