Crowns and veneers usually take 5 to 7 days. Dental implants and All-on-4 normally take two trips: one to place the implants and a second, 3 to 6 months later, for the final teeth. Your clinic confirms the exact plan after reviewing your X-rays.

Most people only notice mild tiredness for a day or two. Rest, drink plenty of water and tell your dentist about any heart or breathing conditions.
