It usually takes **3 to 6 months** after a dental implant for the bone to heal and integrate before placing the crown. In some cases, a temporary crown can be placed earlier, but the permanent crown is typically added once the implant is fully stable. Your dentist will determine the best timeline based on your healing process.
Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant at Elite Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Oklahoma involves a carefully planned timeline to ensure long-lasting results. Generally, the implant needs to integrate with the bone in a process called osseointegration, which takes about 3-6 months. Once Dr. Jeremy Egan confirms the implant is securely fused with the bone, a custom crown can be placed, completing your smile. This careful approach helps us ensure optimal stability and aesthetics, tailored to each patient's unique needs.
After a dental implant is placed, it typically takes about 3 to 6 months before you can get a crown. This waiting period allows for a process called osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for the crown. The exact time can vary depending on factors like the patients bone health and the location of the implant. Once the implant has integrated successfully, your dentist can place an abutment and then attach the permanent crown. Regards, Wael Obeid DDS 527 N.Maclay Ave San Fernando CA,91340 (818)890-2600
Usually, the integration period is expected to be 3-4 months.
Typically, a crown is placed on an implant 3-6 months after the implant surgery to allow for proper healing and integration of the implant with the bone. Thank you for your question! Best wishes on your tooth replacement journey.
Usually 3 months later, however, a temporary tooth can be made to get you through the waiting time.
