Notes on complete treatment time

1.  You should know that the treatment needed to replace all of a person's missing teeth is a process.  
      It does not occur overnight, or even in 1-hour.

     There will always be periods of time when the dentist, the surgeon, and the patient are waiting.....
     waiting for the bone, the gum tissue and the mouth to adapt before the next step in the process
     can begin.

2.  The times listed do not include the additional time needed for the following procedures:


            a.  Extractions:                                 add minimum 3 months

            b.  Bone regeneration:                    add minimum 6 months
                 (bone grafts / sinus grafts)


      As you think about your treatment options, you should remember that the current condition of
      your mouth may require some additional treatment prior to implant treatment.
