How soon will the implant procedure can be completed?
Q. My mother has just (on friday) had the rest of her upper teeth extracted after the front 6 were bridged ten years ago and unfortunately came loose a few months ago. Her dentist has provided her with dentures that are very lifelike but unbearable for her to live with. Dentures are not an option in her mind at present with her being a young 57 year old. We are exploring the avenue of implants and possibly implants with a bridge. how soon will this be able to be completed? We understand there are healing processes from the initial extraction and the implant procedure…but can you give us some kind of idea. thank you. kind regards.
A. Hi, many thanks for your email, generally 8 – 10 weeks after the extractions is enough time for the healing to take place before dental implants are placed, the minimum number of implants to support the front six teeth would be 3, once the implants are placed there is usally again a waiting time of around 12 weeks before the final bridge can be placed. the price of such a treatment would cost around £6000 – £8000 dependant on where you went for your treatment. hope this is helpful.
