What is the maximum number of months you can wait to have crowns placed on implants?

One specialist says the area around an implant could deteriorate after 6 months...another says it's okay to wait 8 to 10 months. How do I know for sure?

What is the maximum number of months you can wait to have crowns placed on implants?
Hi


The dental implant procedure involves 2 main stages separated by a minimum of 3 months healing time:





• Dental implant surgery - in which the implants are placed into the jaw bone.





• Implant restoration - the process in which a crown is built on top of the dental implants.





Both procedures are very common, and not too complicated. In some cases, depending on the patient's jaw bone anatomy, a sinus lift or a dental bone graft is needed too.





The duration of the whole dental implants procedure varies from patient to patient and depends, among other things, on the patient's physical condition and anatomy. It can take 3 to 9 months and sometimes even longer! Yet most of that time is spent on the healing of the tissue and waiting for the growth of new bone in your jaw.





In some cases the dentist may decide to restore the dental implants immediately after placing them...

Good luck
Reply:It really just depends on if it heals correctly or not. 6 months would be fine for most people. Some may require 8-10. It may also depend on what type of implant they are placing. Every dentist uses a little different stuff.
Reply:I was told 10 months (the dentist knows I'm poor).
