    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Dental implant treatment has several stages. The placement appointment uses local anesthesia and varies in length with the number of implants and the complexity of the procedure.

    The full timeline also includes planning, any extractions or grafting, healing, and making and fitting the final crown, bridge, or denture. Surgery time and total treatment time are different.

    The examples in the video describe possible appointment lengths, not a guaranteed schedule. Your dentist explains the expected sequence after evaluating your mouth and the restoration being planned.
