Q. Hello Dr Glover, I just had my dental implant put in and everything sem okay. but can you tell me when it will be time to get my dental crown attached. Is it a lengthy time to wait?
A. Hi Thanks for your question.
The time it takes to get your finished crown can vary from patient to patient and depends on the speed of the healing and integration process. The implant needs to be given time to knit with the bone, typically at least 3 months. Generally from there you can be anything from 8 weeks upwards to getting the final crown.
The dentist who placed the implant will be able to advise you on the timescales likely to be involved in your case.
Regards
