Dental Implants Timeline - Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about how long dental implants take and last at our Hammersmith London clinic.
How long do dental implants take?
How long dental implants take depends on your case. A single tooth implant typically follows a 12-week timeline: implant placed on day one, then permanent crown fitted around 12 weeks later once the implant has integrated. Full-arch cases on 4 implants are usually fitted with permanent fixed teeth within 48 hours of surgery.
What is the dental implant timeline from start to finish?
The standard dental implant timeline: free 3D consultation, then surgical placement of the implant, then 3-6 months for osseointegration (bone fusion), then the final permanent crown is fitted. Some cases qualify for immediate-load placement where a temporary tooth is fitted same day. Full-arch cases follow a 48-hour permanent fitting timeline.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. The titanium post integrates permanently with your jawbone, and the crown above is built from premium porcelain. With proper hygiene most implants last 25+ years and many last a lifetime. Backed by our lifetime warranty.
How long do teeth implants last?
Teeth implants last a lifetime when placed correctly and maintained with regular hygiene visits. The titanium implants integrate permanently with the bone, and the crowns or bridge above use the same premium materials as the most expensive UK clinics. Backed by our lifetime warranty.
What is the tooth implant process?
The tooth implant process at Dental by Design has four steps: 1) Free 3D consultation with CBCT scan and digital smile design. 2) Surgical placement of the titanium implant under local anaesthetic. 3) 3-6 month integration period (osseointegration). 4) Final permanent porcelain crown fitted. Some cases qualify for same-day temporary crown placement.
What is the single tooth implant timeline?
The single tooth implant timeline is typically 12 weeks from start to finish: implant placement on day one, integration over 12 weeks, then final permanent crown fitted. Some patients qualify for immediate-load placement where a temporary tooth is fitted same day so you are never without a tooth in the visible smile area.
What is the dental implant process timeline for a full arch?
The dental implant process timeline for a full arch on 4 implants is fast: implant placement on day one with a fixed temporary bridge fitted same day, then the final permanent bridge fitted within 48 hours. Most patients are eating soft food the same evening. Lifetime warranty included.

Having priced up the same implants on the South Coast I found Dental by Design a lot cheaper . I had my whole top jaw teeth replaced by Dr. Mechoui having been worried by the process I found him and the surgery excellent at making me feel relaxed and informed at all stages. The finished result has exceeded my expectations and I would thoroughly recommend Dental by design to anybody who is thinking about the process. Ps they don’t look anything like’Turkey’ teeth, very natural looking and feeling.

I visited plenty of dental practice before I came to see DBD. They all gave me the sweet talk and complications in having it done. I felt like, with all the complications, it’s not worth going through it. For every complications, there’s a corresponding charge. With DBD, everything was straight forward. On my free assessment, Dr Rob gave me lots of encouragement and reassurance. On the day of my procedure, nurse Elisa and Dr Rob made me feel at home and the feeling of outmost care. The receptionist were all very nice and they new my name as I entered the door. Isabella was so caring even with the aftercare calls. Overall, my experience with them has been well worth it in terms of affordability, skills, quality of care and the friendly and clean atmosphere. I will definitely spread the news about DBD.
