what is the down time for having a dental implant?

the tooth that supports my bridge is gone and i need a dental implant .was wondering what the down time is.
the location of the bridge and the tooth replacment is the upper aptly,I still have the tooth in place that holds my bridge but it has to be removed once the infection has cleared up and replaced with an implant that will hold my bridge.it sounds like about 6 months before the implant is healed.do i wear a temporary fake tooth ? how does the bridge stay in once the terrible tooth is extracted?

You didn’t really grant a whole lot of information. When was the tooth removed? It can take 2-6 months for the bone to heal in order to place an implant. Sorry this answer is brief, here was not too much information to go off of.

That is going to depends on a few things, like if you recently lost that tooth. Is the tooth you lost on your upper or decrease jaw? If it’s on the decrease, it takes about 2-3 months for that area to properly heal before considering implant placement. If it’s on the upper, than 4-6 months, since bone on the upper jaw (maxilla) is much more porous, and takes longer to heal.

A couple other factors can affect healing time – if you’re a smoker, and continue to smoke, that’s going to prolong your ‘down time’. Health check conditions such as diabetes can also affect healing time.
