3-4 months
The usual time frame is 4-6 months
Typically it is 3 or 4 months until the implant is integrated with the bone. Ask your dental surgeon.
3 to 4 months depending on healing usually
The average wait time from when an implant is placed to when it can be "loaded" with a crown is 3-4 months. It is dependant on the quality of bone and sturdiness of the implant.
Usually it takes 4-6 months for the implant to integrate into the bone. The Dentist who placed the implant should advise when the implant is stable enough to restore it with a crown. Dr. Mark Johnson
