Important Note

The calculator helps to estimate a savings potential and uses a hypothetic initial situation:

  • tooth extraction in esthetic zone (15 - 25)
  • AND immediate implant is possible

Assumed values:

  • >5-9h = total treatment time with "classic" extraction socket
  • 3-5h = total treatment time with immediate implant
  • 8.5h = 1 working day

Every patient is different and results may vary.
