Dental implants are generally given 3-4 months to integrate (fuse) to the jawbone before anything is attached to them. However, in some cases, early loading (attachment) at 1-11 weeks or immediate loading (at the time of implant placement) is possible, especially directly after tooth extraction.

To connect the implant with a restoration (crown, bridge, partial, or denture), an abutment (coupler) is secured inside the implant, and the restoration is secured over the abutment(s).
