Tooth Implant Guide is a free service that connects patients with local dental-implant providers and clinics. We are not a dental practice, we do not provide dental care, and nothing here is medical advice. Always consult a licensed dentist or oral surgeon.

The short answer

Osseointegration, when bone fuses to the implants, generally takes about three to six months, often a bit longer in the upper jaw than the lower. Many patients wear a temporary set of teeth during this time. Gums settle over a few weeks after surgery. Your dentist confirms when it is safe to attach the final teeth.
