Usually it’s between 4 to 6 months after implant is placed
Normally, we wait 2-3 months for osseointegration (meaning the implant fusing to the surrounding bone).
Personally, I prefer 6 months. Some clinicians do it 3-4 months. Very important to pay attention to bone quality for decision-making.
Typically takes a few months for the bone around the implant to be stable enough to have a crown placed and begin using. Only exception is the Ultratooth implant which can be used same day
Traditionally 3 months, but in a few cases you can crown an implant immediately.
4-6 months
The timing can vary. Generally, for the lower jaw, it is 3-4 months after surgery, and for the upper jaw, 5-8 months. In some cases, when the bone to implant connection is very solid and the dentist/patient wants to finish ASAP and are willing to deal with the increased risk, the final restoration can be done sooner than mentioned above. These are often referred to as "Immediately loaded" implants.
It depends if it’s on the top jaw or the lower jaw. Normally 4 months on the upper and 3 months on the lower.
It generally takes 3-4 months for an implant to heal in the bone. At that point a crown can be made to fit on the implant.

Typically, 4 months after the implant is placed
Dental implant crown can usually be placed 3 months after the initial surgery, If all goes OK. At that time the implant dentist will determine if he wants to have screw on porcelain crown or cemented porcelain crown, for more information click here: https://celebritydentist.com/dental-implants/
