Usually it's about 3 months the abutments will then be tested to make sure
they have integrated with the bone. Once they are solid you can proceed.
The dentist who placed the implants will advise you when to proceed
Implants need to integrate with the surrounding bone. This process takes by average 4-6 months depending on your bone quality, co-existing systemic diseases, habits like smoking or drinking. Your dentist will give you an exact timeline for your individual case.
Implants on each person range from 3-6 months depending on how well the
implant fuses to the bone and depending on the time frame each surgeon
waits but 3-6 months is the range
