Typical stay by treatment
These are the usual ranges for a straightforward case. Complex work, grafting or a large number of units can add a day or two.
| Treatment | Trips | Days per trip |
|---|---|---|
| Veneers | 1 | 5–7 days |
| Zirconium / E.max crowns | 1 | 5–7 days |
| Teeth whitening | 1 | 1–2 days |
| Dental implants | 2 | 3–5 days, then 3–4 days |
| All-on-4 / All-on-6 | 2 | 5–7 days each |
Why implants need two trips
On the first trip the implant is placed and, where possible, a temporary tooth is fitted. The implant then needs about three months to fuse with the bone before it can carry a permanent crown. The second trip — shorter — is for the final teeth.
Some single-tooth cases can be finished faster with immediate loading, but a two-visit plan is the reliable default and the one most guarantees are based on.
How your days are actually spent
You won’t be at the clinic every day. A crown or veneer case typically means 4–5 clinic visits across the stay, with rest days in between for the lab work and for you to see the city.
A rough veneer week looks like: day 1 scan and preparation, day 3 try-in, day 5 fitting, days 2 and 4 free.
Planning tips
Book your flights only once the clinic has confirmed your treatment dates. Leave a buffer day before your return flight in case a fitting needs an extra appointment. Avoid strenuous activity and diving for a few days after any surgery.
- Confirm treatment dates first, then flights
- Add one buffer day before flying home
- For implants, pencil in the second trip ~3 months later
- Bring a companion if you’re having surgery
Frequently asked questions
Usually no. The implant needs about three months to integrate before the permanent crown. Some single cases allow immediate temporary teeth, but the final teeth come on a second, shorter visit.
