Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the impact of implant placement with simultaneous bone augmentation on patients' willingness to repeat the procedure. Secondary outcomes included assessing patient-reported outcome measures, clinical- and surgical-related factors affecting treatment outcomes. Methods Subjects who were currently undergoing or have undergone implant placement with simultaneous bone augmentation in the esthetic region (maxillary second premolar to second premolar) were assigned to three groups: Group A (short-term), Group B (1-5 years post-surgery), and Group C (> 5 years post-surgery). Clinical assessments, dichotomous questions, and visual analogue scales were used to evaluate therapeutic outcomes according to the group of interest. Results One hundred and fifty patients completed the study (n = 50 per group). In Group A, 16% experienced wound dehiscence (membrane exposure < 3 mm), and 2% had postoperative bleeding, infection, swelling, or abscess. Flaps extending beyond three teeth significantly increased early membrane exposure (p = 0.04). Patient-reported postoperative discomfort (p < 0.001) and wound healing scores (p < 0.04) decreased over time. Willingness to repeat the procedure was 100%, 88%, and 98% in Groups A, B, and C, respectively, with satisfaction rates of 98.2 ± 7.5, 91.2 ± 10.6, and 95.2 ± 10.9. No significant differences were found between Groups B and C for functional or esthetic satisfaction. However, Group C reported higher satisfaction and comfort (p < 0.001). Younger adults and women reported greater postoperative discomfort than older adults and men. Conclusions Implant placement with simultaneous horizontal bone augmentation in esthetic areas shows a high willingness of patients to repeat the procedure in the short-, mid-, and long-term. Additionally, this therapeutic approach yields low rates of postoperative complications and discomfort, along with high patient satisfaction related to functional performance, esthetics, and overall comfort.
