What is the typical timeline for getting dental implants at your Coffs Harbour clinic?

Getting dental implants in Coffs Harbour is a process designed to give you a strong, long-lasting and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. The timeline can vary depending on your individual needs, but here’s a general idea of what to expect.

  • Initial Consultation — We start with a thorough examination, including digital imaging, to assess your jawbone health and plan your treatment. This visit is also where we discuss your goals and answer questions.
  • Preparatory Treatments (if needed) — Some patients may require bone grafting or other preliminary procedures to create the best possible foundation for their implant. This can add healing time before implant placement.
  • Implant Placement — The dental implant (a titanium post) is surgically placed into the jawbone. This part acts as the new root for your future tooth.
  • Healing and Osseointegration — Over the next three to six months, the implant integrates with your jawbone. This step is essential for long-term stability.
  • Abutment and Crown Placement — Once healed, we attach an abutment and custom crown to complete your restoration.
