While every full mouth restoration case is different, most patients want to know two things right away: how soon they can begin and how long the full process will take.
At Saline Oral Facial & Dental Implant Surgery, consultations are typically available within days, and your first visit is focused on outlining a clear plan for treatment.
Step 1: The Consultation
Timeline: Often scheduled within days
Your first visit is focused on evaluation and planning. During this appointment, your surgical needs are assessed and your full treatment timeline is clearly outlined.
Step 2: The Surgical Phase
Timeline: One visit or staged over several appointments
The surgical phase includes removing damaged teeth and placing dental implants as needed. Some patients complete this in a single visit, while others require staged treatment depending on bone health and overall complexity.
Dr. Fisher performs the implant placement, and once healing is complete, your restorative dentist completes the final prosthetic phase.
Step 3: Healing
Timeline: Approximately 3–6 months
After implants are placed, the bone needs time to heal and integrate with the implants. This healing period varies from patient to patient.
During this phase, temporary teeth may be worn while the implants stabilize. Once healing is confirmed, you move into the final restoration stage.
Step 4: Final Restoration
Timeline: 4–8 weeks after healing is complete
Once healing is confirmed, your restorative dentist designs and places your final teeth. The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of your case, laboratory fabrication time, and scheduling coordination.
This stage is handled by your restorative dentist, coordinated carefully to ensure the implants are restored correctly.
Total Timeline: What Most Patients Can Expect
For many patients, full mouth restoration takes:
4 to 8 months from consultation to final teeth
Complex cases involving significant grafting may take longer.
What makes the difference is not just surgical skill. It is clear coordination and efficient scheduling.
What Determines Your Exact Timeline?
Every full mouth restoration is unique. Factors include:
- Number of implants needed
- Need for bone grafting
- Health conditions that affect healing
- Coordination timing with your restoring dentist
The most important first step is an evaluation to determine your specific path.
