The initial recovery period for dental implants is usually 7 to 10 days, but it may take 3 to 6 months (or more based on the unique case) to heal and integrate into the jawbone fully. The healing time varies and depends on your medical and dental history, the state of your jaw bone before the surgery, the number of teeth replaced, and whether you require bone grafting. Your dentist can give you a more virtually accurate estimate of how long your dental implants can heal.
