How fast does the tooth implant procedure take to finish?

A few months: It is done differently by doctors. In most cases the implant is placed and after it attaches to the bone in 3 to 6 months, it is used for a tooth.

Procedure or healing: The actual procedure for one implant without other complications can take about 1-2 hrs. It is painless and very simple these days. The healing time before a crown can be placed in most cases is around 4 mos. However, coupled with other procedures such as bone augmentation, sinus lift, etc., it may take more time for both the procedure and healing times.
