How long () until we can see him?
The police: Is he okay?
Doctor: He'll live.
The police: Is he well enough to talk about the accident? We want to talk to him about it.
Doctor: Well, compound rib fractures, insomnia, trauma...
The police: All right, I get the picture. How long until we can see him?
I'd like to know after "how long" if "does it take" is implied.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I don't think that 'does it take' is implied. Rather, the implied phrase is 'will it be'. '
