The process of getting multiple tooth implants typically takes place over the course of several months. The first step is the surgical implantation of the titanium posts, which takes about an hour per implant. After the implants are placed, the patient will need to wait for the jawbone to heal and the implants to integrate with the bone. This generally takes about three to six months. Once the implants are fully integrated, the patient will return to the dentist to have the bridge or crowns attached to the tops of the implants.
