No, you will not be without teeth during the dental implant procedure. Dental implants are typically placed in multiple stages, and your dentist will ensure that you have temporary teeth or prosthetics to wear throughout the treatment process.
During the initial phase of dental implant placement, any necessary extractions or preparations will be performed. If you have any remaining natural teeth in the treatment area, temporary restorations or dentures will be provided to maintain your ability to speak comfortably.
After the implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to integrate with the surrounding bone—a process called osseointegration. During this healing period, which can take a few months, temporary restorations or dentures will still be worn to preserve your appearance and functionality.
Once the healing is complete and the implants have successfully integrated, the final restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures, will be fabricated and attached to the implants. These permanent restorations will provide a natural-looking, long-term solution to replace your missing teeth.
Your dentist will work closely with you throughout the entire dental implant process to ensure that you have suitable temporary teeth or prosthetics at each stage. This way, you can maintain a functional and aesthetic smile while your implants heal and the final restorations are being prepared.
