Treatment Timeline for UK PatientsBefore Your Trip, During Treatment, and After You Return
- UK implant patients make one trip to New Delhi.
It takes 3 to 4 days: your scan, your implants and your fixed zirconia teeth are complete within 72 hours.
Overview
UK implant patients make one trip to New Delhi. It takes 3 to 4 days: your scan, your implants and your fixed zirconia teeth are complete within 72 hours. If your CBCT shows you need a bone graft first, your written plan sets out the extra steps before you book. Use the treatment timeline tool to plan leave from work for your trip.
Your treatment runs in three phases: preparation at home in the UK, one visit for surgery and fixed zirconia teeth, and healing at home over the following months. Knowing the order lets you plan leave from work, flights and follow-up with your UK dentist before you book.
