So the advertisements on TV for implants aren't quite true, that it takes only one day and they are as good as new.Fell of a roof when I was 17 and landed in the push up position.
Thank God my tongue wasnt out or I would have bit it off,but I did shatter 90% of my molars.
After 30 years of bridge work and all the troubles those entail I finally said **** it and had all the teeth I had left yanked and went with implants.
It was a miserable year of constant dental appointments but now that it's done I couldnt be happier.
They work almost as good as the originals and I never have to worry about cavities.
Hell,I can even eat Beef Jerky!!

Yeah thats total BS. You have to wait until your gums heal after the extractions before they can install the threaded part in to your jawbone,then you have to wait for the bone to grow around the implanted parts before they can put in the final product.
It takes around a year all told before they're done.

It definitely does take time to heal after implant surgery, at least 4 months to get the implant to merge with your bone. But you are wrong about having to wait after extractions. If you have an unrestorable tooth in your mouth you want to replace with an implant, they can extract and put in the implant on the same day. I have 3 implants I had put in 4 years ago and one of the teeth I was having replaced was still in my mouth. They screwed in the implant right after the extraction.

I have 3 implants I had put in 4 years ago and one of the teeth I was having replaced was still in my mouth. They screwed in the implant right after the extraction.
In my case they removed all of my remaining teeth and had to put in stitches due to the amount of cutting they had to do. I had to wait until those came out before they went in and installed the anchors.
I went straight from extraction to the orthodontist where they placed temporary dentures that sucked like a mofo and were generally useless to eat with while my gums finished healing.
This wasnt a few teeth,it was all of the ones I had left,basically the twelve teeth I had left after falling off the roof so it's a bit different.
They dont put in individual teeth in this situation they put four anchor up top and four on the bottom and the dentures are locked into place with pins and snap in inserts.
I remove them every night and toss em in the old Polident cleaning tablets like you'd do with regular dentures.
Like I said though,they work pretty much as good as the real deal and I can eat whatever I want without issue.

Your situation is a lot different than mine for sure. I only had the implants to replace 3 teeth, not for a full mouth. Having a lot of teeth extracted at one time is pretty much major surgery.

And talk about expensive!!!!!
40k before it was all said and done!!! And insurance only paid for the extractions which was minimal.
