Every procedure is different, but most providers have their own labs on site, so time away is minimized. For example, for crowns, an average of 5-7 days is normal if it is a fairly straight-forward case. With some procedures, like two stage dental implants, 2 trips will be necessary approximately 4-6 months apart. The substantial savings will be well worth it though.
