What to Expect

Implant treatment typically happens in two stages: the surgical placement during the first visit and, after healing, the final restoration during the second visit. Crowns and veneers usually require 2–6 days depending on how many teeth are treated and the needed lab steps. Many basic procedures, such as fillings, simple extractions, and laser whitening, are often completed in one visit. Your dentist will map a personalized timeline after your consultation.
