I need to get a dental implant next week. How long does a dental implant procedure take?

If you need an implant placed in sound bone in an easy to access area,, no more than one hour. However, if you need bone or tissue grafting along with implant it will take longer.
For a single implant, the procedure it takes from 1 to 2 hours to place the implant, depending on how long the anesthesia takes to start working. Then you have the healing time, then you have to go back to have the healing abutment uncovered, then have the implant restored with the tooth shaped crown, so there are quite a few visits for it to be done with a high probability of success and so it looks correct as well.
Good luck.

A single implant? In an experienced clinician’s hands 40 mins- 1 hour.... of course could be longer in certain situations.
