Replace implicit wait with explicit wait (selenium webdriver & java)

How can I replace this implicit wait with an explicit one?

driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

This is used in the Before Method. I was able to replace all the Thread.sleep()'s in the code, but I'm not sure what do to for this one.

Implicit wait is defined once right after the driver initialization for the driver life time, and it sets the maximum amount of time for the driver to look foe WebElement.

Explicit wait is used to wait up to the given amount of time for the WebElement to be in cretin condition, and need to be used each time you are waiting for condition to met.

You can't "replace" the implicit wait definition with explicit wait, as they are different thing and there is no condition to wait for in this point.
