1. How long does it take to get dentures?

The recovery time for missing teeth depends greatly on the method and technique:

1.1. Removable dentures

Removable dentures are a method of using dentures to restore tooth function. Removable dentures have two parts: The jaw base is made of acrylic or titanium plastic, the teeth are made of plastic or porcelain.

However, this method does not prevent bone loss due to tooth loss, and the chewing force is also weaker than with real teeth.

It takes the patient about 2-3 days. On the first day, the patient will have their dental condition checked, solutions advised and dental impressions taken. In the following days, the doctor will create a denture, install it in your mouth and adjust the size.

A porcelain dental bridge helps restore one or more missing teeth. This method can help patients chew and chew almost like real teeth. Furthermore, the cost of making a porcelain dental bridge is also quite reasonable. However, to make a porcelain bridge, the two real teeth next to the lost tooth must be very strong and strong enough to be ground as pillars; At the same time, it also does not help prevent jaw bone loss due to tooth loss.

1.3. Dental implants

Dental implants are the most advanced method in restoring lost teeth, helping to regain chewing ability and aesthetics similar to real teeth. When using the Implant method, patients will have their chewing ability restored to more than 90%, helping them eat and drink comfortably without worrying about dental problems. After a short time, the implant will be biologically compatible with the body. At this point, the patient can comfortably clean them like real teeth. At the same time, this is a method that can limit bone loss and prevent facial misalignment and mouth distortion.

How long does it take to grow teeth with the Implant method?

Implant placement time is divided into two stages: implant grafting and porcelain tooth restoration.

Normally, the implant placement time is quite fast, only taking about 20 – 30 minutes (in case there is no bone graft). However, if the patient has lost all teeth, the time to implant implants using the All-on-X/ProArch technique is about 120 minutes/jaw.

After implanting the implant into the jaw, the patient needs to wait about 6 – 14 weeks for the implant to be compatible. After this time, the doctor will attach the porcelain crown on the Implant and the patient’s tooth will be completely completed.

2. Factors affecting dentures time

Although dental implants are an advanced method with many outstanding advantages, in order to be compatible quickly and on schedule, patients need to pay attention to the following factors:

2.1 Oral health status and jaw bone quality

Before undergoing dental implants, the patient will have their oral health checked by a doctor. If the patient has dental problems, treatment must be performed before dental implants can be placed.

Besides, how long it takes to get a tooth implant depends on the quality of the jaw bone. For those with thin jawbones, bone loss, etc. who are not eligible for implant placement, additional bone grafting will be needed, so the treatment time will also be longer.

2.2 Doctor’s professional qualifications

Implant placement is a difficult technique, requiring highly specialized and experienced doctors. That way, the new dental implant process can take place quickly and smoothly, avoid complications and the teeth will be highly durable.

2.3 Modern equipment

In addition to the doctor’s skills, modern equipment will help the dental implant process go faster. Because it will support and ensure accuracy in each operation, helping the implantation process shorten time.

2.4 Type of implant used

Implant head is also a factor that affects how long it takes for tooth implantation to complete. High-quality implants with modern production technology will shorten the time to integrate into the jawbone and restore porcelain quickly while still ensuring high stability.

2.5 General health

Health is also a factor that affects how long it takes to implant dentures. Because patients with diseases such as heart disease, blood pressure, etc. or pregnant women are forced to wait until their health is good before they can have a transplant.

3. How to shorten dentures time effectively and safely

To optimize the effectiveness and time, please ‘remember’ the following things:

• Tooth implant as soon as possible: After losing a tooth or having a tooth extracted, you should go to the dentist to have a tooth implant plan as soon as possible. Because after about 3 months of losing teeth without implanting dentures, the jawbone will be hollowed out, leading to receding gums and opposing teeth becoming misaligned or protruding, causing loss of aesthetics and affecting chewing. Then the tooth implantation time may be longer because it takes time to lift the sinuses, bone graft or treat dental diseases (if any).
• Choose a reputable dentist, a doctor with experience in tooth implantation: Doctors with high experience and expertise will perform the procedures more quickly and accurately, minimizing treatment time.
• Choose a good Implant line with fast osseointegration: Currently, high-end Implant lines such as Straumann Implant (Switzerland), Neodent Implant (Switzerland), Hahn Implant (USA)… offer the ability to quickly osseointegrate. Fast, high stability, limiting column rejection.

• Prioritize dentistry with a modern equipment system: Dental clinics are fully equipped with modern machinery and technology that can help the tooth implantation process take place faster and more accurately.
• Follow post-operative care instructions: Good post-operative care helps shorten recovery time and reduce the risk of complications. Accordingly, you should follow your doctor’s instructions on oral hygiene and diet; At the same time, you should have a dental check-up on schedule so that the doctor can check and promptly handle abnormalities (if any).
