healing takes 4 months to 9 months, duration of healing depends on type of bone graft material used for socket preservation.
The provider who placed the dental implant is the best source for answering this question. That provider knows the quality and density of the surrounding bone, and understands the particular situation pertaining to the implant site. However, to offer you an answer, I would say the timing varies from 2-4 months for most socket preservation sites.
Hello and thank you for your question. It's best to wait 3-6 months. There are several steps in creating dental implants. The Provisional (Temporary Crowns) are critical in finalizing the esthetics and look of the final restorations (Permanent Crowns). During the Provisional phase the shape, contour arrangement, position and color of the teeth can be tried and assessed to make sure you like the results. Then the temporary crowns can be used as a template for making the permanent crowns this will ensure the subsequent crown matches the color and shape of the surrounding teeth so and once it is placed will fit in naturally with the rest of your teeth. Because the crown is matched to your other teeth, it may be possible to have them completed in different times. I recommend getting a consultation with a prosthodontist to determine if you’re a candidate. A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth and can create a customized treatment using the latest techniques in dental implants.
We typically wait 3-6 months. That's dependent on many factors. If you are young and healthy and the area wasn't infected prior to tooth removal, it will be closer to 3 months. If you have a complicated medical history, impaired healing, or had a lot of bone loss in the area due to infection, it will be 6 months or more.
Depending on what type of bone graft you received, that can change the length required to heal. Rule of thumb is 6 months for all bone healing. Obviously that number can changes based on your healing, material used, and providers’ discretion.
The usual amount of time between bone grafting for socket preservation and placement of an implant is 3-6 months. All situations are unique, you should follow your doctor's recommendation.
The minimum wait time is 3 months, but 6 is a more safe/predictable wait time. The maximum? I would not suggest waiting more than two years as the bone volume will decrease.
After 3 days of surgery it's normal to have a little bit of swelling, specially if stitches were removed, otherwise almost no swelling. Follow post op instructions, meds and soft diet. Contact your surgeon. Good luck.
First, the images are small and not very high def, so based on the small blurry images, I don't see any that jumped out at me on the lower right 3 implants. The implants are away from the nerve (I.A.N.) and they're in plenty of bone. So all and all, CT images looked good for...
Please do not glue teeth yourself as you need a dry working area, clean the crown and disinfect, condition the crown and use a Biocompatible cement. Also the crown has to be cemented in the correct position with the correct bite. Please consult your experienced dentist, Joseph Goodman...
