Immediately, just be gentle in that area. Dr. Totonchi
After gum heals usually 1 week.
It all depends on immediate implant loading or placing an implant and waiting until it heals after 3 months. If implant is not visible and under gum tissue you can brush right away. For the most part either way you can brush right away. I would minimize the pressure you put on the implant. I do not restrict my patients from brushing their teeth. but we should be cautious either way. i hope this helps Bobby J Grossi DDS
