How long does it take for the implant to heal with the alveolar bone?

The healing time between the implant and the alveolar bone is usually more than three months, but the specific healing time, related to the individual’s bone condition and external influences, may be extended. 1. Bone condition. Implant and alveolar bone is formed by the bone healing, the implant has good biocompatibility, and alveolar bone bonding time of at least three months. If when the bone is loose, the combination time will be prolonged. 2. External influences. The healing time of the implant and the alveolar bone is influenced by the periodontal conditions in the oral cavity and by smoking. Periodontal inflammation, due to the presence of inflammatory factors or due to the influence of smoking, can prolong the osseointegration time to four to six months or lead to failure of the osseointegration. The healing time between the implant and the alveolar bone needs to be determined with reference to your own oral condition.
