The duration of dental implant healing period are different and depends on the jaw bones after removal of teeth and insertion of the dental implants, as well as the complexity of the treatment. Treatment often takes between three and six months for single tooth replacements.
Like so many other things, it depends. If you are a healthy person and the implant was placed into healthy bone, it can be as short as 3 months. If you are not as healthy (diabetic, high blood pressure, a smoker), it can take up to twice as long. IF bone grafting was placed, it also might extend the time.
Usually 4-6 monthes
