I had implant surgery 10 days ago. How long after the implant will I get a crown?

It typically takes 4 months for bone to integrate and fuse to the implant. If you haven’t been contacted at that point you can call the office and get in to make sure it’s ready to seat the abutment connection and the crown.
It depends on bone quality and provider. Some dentists will restore an implant immediately (higher risk of failure) some wait a full 6 months before restoring. If an implant has a high torque value on the day of placement, as in rock solid in the bone, it is safe to restore sooner than softer bone with less primary stability. Most dentists will tell you after the initial surgery what is your recommended healing time before the implant is ready for a crown.
Hello! Typically 5-6 months of healing depending on your bone and the acceptance of the implant.
If the implant was placed in the lower jaw, usually, a crown is placed 3 months later. If the implant was placed in the upper jaw, on average a crown is placed 4-6 months later.
