The actual implantation takes only a short time. With correct preparation and implementation, the risks are minimal. Compared to extraction of a wisdom tooth, implantation is associated with fewer risks and possible complications.
Inserting a single implant usually lasts no more than 30 minutes but can also take longer depending on the difficulty.
Dental implants are usually inserted under local anesthetic as an outpatient procedure, or under general anesthetic if preferred.
