Following my consultation with my surgeon, I scheduled my surgery about 5 weeks out. I may have been able to get in sooner, but had to fit this in between other plans. I am in Atlanta, GA.

Probably a 2 week wait to see the surgeon.

I went for consultation mainly to find out if insurance would cover implant. 3 1/2 weeks later I had the implant. I was amazed to say the least.

I'm in Charlotte, NC.

1. Referral not required by my insurance but took about 20 days for pre-approval. Lab work was also done locally during this time.
2. My consultation and surgery were on the same day.
3. South Carolina. USA. Surgery in Baltimore
