For most patients, it takes 3 to 9 months to fully heal after receiving a dental implant in Tampa, FL. For more information about your healing timeline, you should talk to your dentist, who will thoroughly evaluate your oral health and provide a more specific timeframe.
What Happens During Healing
The most important aspect of healing involves your jawbone fusing with the titanium implant. This process is called osseointegration. At North Tampa Dentistry, Dr. Roberto Bellegarrigue uses modern implants made by Biomet 3i, one of the first implant companies in the world. These implants are coated with calcium and phosphate, which encourage your natural bone to bind to the implant surface.
Several key factors affect your healing timeline, including bone quality, overall health, and implant location. If you smoke or have certain health conditions, you may experience longer healing timelines. Dr. Bellegarrigue will monitor your progress through regular checkups and confirm when your implant is healed enough to provide the stability needed for your custom crown.
Since our entire implant process takes place in-house, you won’t need to visit multiple specialists. Dr. Bellegarrigue oversees the entire implant process from the initial consultation to the final crown placement.
