“How long does it take to heal from dental implant surgery?”
I am a 62 year old male. I want to know how long does it take to heal from dental implant surgery?

Without a graft 12 weeks for the bone to integrate with the implant. However, with bone grafting it may take 6 months or longer.
It depends on multiple factors, medical history of patient, bone condition, among other things. Most cases, it takes about 5 days to feel almost or none discomfort but the time it takes to complete heal and integrate to the body is 3 months in most cases.
In answer to your question, it depends on many factors, including complexities of surgery. Usually only a few days when complex.

Healing will vary based on your overall health and the specifics of the implant surgery, so talking to your dental surgeon would be the best way to get a more precise answer. In general, you can expect to be sore for a few days, and start to feel better after that. Some patients report very little soreness at all even! Your bone will take longer to heal, anywhere from 3-6 months, or sometimes even longer depending on underlying conditions you may have. The good news, though, is that you will not notice all of this healing, and typically feel back to normal within a week or two (if not sooner)!
7-10 days and you should be out of pain

Typically, you need to wait 3-4 months after implant placement on bone before you may get an implant crown placed.
it depends on the implant surgery and if you have an underlying disease that slows the healing like diabetes for example. Also, if you have a bone graft at the time of the implant placement, it will take longer to heal. The bone quality, too, affects the healing if it is soft or dense bone, and finally, the primary stability of the implant at the time of the surgery.
While there are health considerations such as Diabetes and Smoking that can slow healing times, the typical healing period is 3-4 months total. Once healed we can look into restoring the implant so you'll never know that tooth was missing!
Healing from the surgery, about 2 weeks, but you have to wait between 5 to 7 months to get a crown on top of the implant.
How long it takes to heal from implant surgery depends on where the surgery is done in the mouth. And is the gum tissue, the surgical site, in good shape before the surgery is done? Also, what is the density of the bone where the surgery is being done?
Of course, “healing from implant surgery” can mean different things to different people. If the question is how long will implant surgery Hurt, or how long will I be debilitated from it, that’s totally different than how long it takes the bone to heal around the implant for the implant to be utilized.
If the surgical site and the gum in the area are in good shape and healthy, then any discomfort in the area should disappear in the first day or two. Advil or Tylenol should be sufficient to cover any discomfort. If the bone is softer and the gum is not as healthy as it should’ve been, it may take a week or more for the area to feel comfortable.
The actual healing, where the bone solidifies around the implant and holds it solid, can take 3 to 6 months. The timing depends upon the health of the bone, bone density, tissue health, and what if anything is around the healing cap of the implant and the opposing occlusion.
Hopefully this has been helpful and gives you some insight into implant surgery!

It depends on the type of implant placed and who placed it. It also depends on your body. Some dentists prefer to wait 3 months. Others prefer to wait 4 months. Either way, they should "torque-test" the implant to be sure it has integrated, that it's "become one with the body."
It generally takes about 6 months to heal. It can vary among types of bone augmentation procedures performed with the implant procedure.
Depends on type of implant you get. There are several types. Also depends on your health. Most implants need to be placed and allowed to heal before finial crown is placed. That can cube up to several months. Talk with your dentist. They know you best and know what best option is.

Healing is usually very rapid and there is no down time.
