How long before crown can be attached to implant?

Q. Dr Tennet, How long (how many weeks or months) could you wait between the dental tooth implant being placed in the jaw bone and when the post and crown must be placed over it. I am looking for the maximum (not to exceed) wait time figure.,
A. No maximum time as implants can be placed in 80 year old patients who lost all thier teeth 60 years ago but still reain enough bone to support an implant.rob
