How long do dental implants take?

Have you ever asked yourself, "How long do dental implants take?" It sounds like a long process—but it doesn’t have to be! At Modern Dentistry of New England in New England, we offer same-day dental implants that help you walk out with a smile in just one visit. 

That’s right. With Dr. Gabr and our advanced technology, you can get a new tooth in a single day. The whole dental implant process doesn't have to be a lengthy process anymore. 

Let's walk you through what happens and what you can expect.

What are same-day dental implants?

Same-day dental implants let us place your implant and attach a crown or temporary tooth in one appointment. Instead of waiting several months between steps, we skip the delay. You leave our New England office with a complete smile. This isn’t magic—it’s modern dentistry.



Dr. Gabr checks if you have enough bone to hold the implant and ensures your oral health is strong. Not everyone qualifies, but many patients with a missing tooth or teeth are good candidates. 

If you want quick results and have proper bone quality, you might be a perfect fit.

The installation process: what’s involved?

So, what happens during the implant surgery? It starts with your initial consultation at Modern Dentistry of New England. We take X-rays, check your mouth, and talk about your goals.

On the day of the implant placement, we use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Dr. Gabr places the implant into your jaw—it acts like a tooth root. If your bone is strong, we can attach a temporary crown or restoration right away.

Here are the steps involved:

• Initial consultation and exam
• X-rays and planning
• Implant placement
• Crown placement (same day or temporary)
• Follow-up and healing

Healing to full function: What to expect

Even with same-day dental implants, your mouth needs time to heal. The healing process, called osseointegration, is when the bone grows around the implant. This gives it strength and stability.

For most people, healing takes a few weeks to several months. You might feel some swelling, soreness, or mild pain, but it usually eases with over-the-counter medicine. During this time, you’ll eat soft foods and avoid chewing directly on the new tooth.

Proper care, brushing, and regular visits to Dr. Gabr help ensure long-term success. Once healed, we place your final crown—it looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Who qualifies for same-day implants?

Not everyone can get same-day implants. We check:

• Bone quality and quantity
• Overall health
• Gums and surrounding teeth
• Smoking habits or severe bone loss

If you don’t have enough bone, we may recommend bone grafting before implant surgery. But many patients in New England qualify without any extra steps. Dr. Gabr makes sure your individual case is safe for the implant process.

What makes same-day implants different?

Regular dental implants often take months. There are separate appointments for:

• Implant placement
• Healing time
• Abutment placement
• Final crown

That means the entire process can take up to a year. But with same-day dental implants, we shorten the time commitment. 

You get an implant and a new tooth in just one visit. 

That’s a game-changer.

What are the benefits of same-day implants?

Same-day dental implants come with several perks:

• Immediate tooth replacement
• No need for a temporary denture
• Shorter healing time
• Less time off work
• Strong function and a great look

At Modern Dentistry of New England, we love seeing patients smile right after their appointment. 

It’s a rewarding moment for you and for us.

What can affect your healing time?

Several things affect your healing time:



• Your overall health
• Your bone quality
• Smoking habits
• Oral hygiene
• Following post-op instructions

With proper care, many people heal in a few weeks. You’ll come back to our New England office for checkups so we can track your healing and make adjustments if needed.

How long does the crown last?

Your final crown is strong, but it needs care. With brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings, your crown can last for years. It works like a natural tooth, and no one will know the difference.

Dr. Gabr uses top-quality materials for each crown placement. That means your final restoration is made to last. 

Avoid biting ice or hard candy to protect your crown.

What if I need bone grafting first?

If you have severe bone loss, we may need to do bone grafting. This adds bone to your jaw to support the implant. In this case, we might not be able to do same-day implants. But don’t worry—we’ll explain every option and make sure you understand the full time frame.

Even if you need extra steps, you’re still on your way to a better smile.

Is it really worth it?

Absolutely. Getting dental implants is one of the best ways to replace a missing tooth. It’s strong, looks great, and helps your jawbone stay healthy. The dental implant procedure feels like a natural part of your mouth once it’s healed.

At Modern Dentistry of New England, Dr. Gabr walks you through the entire process. From your first appointment to the final crown, we make sure you’re comfortable and happy with your smile.
