I extracted my root 2 mnth ago, should i have the implant immdtly or wait for it to heal?. Its the upper right 3rd tooth removed ( front) and there was no infection on the root itself.
Answer: When To Implant After Extraction?
I would say that if you are eight weeks post operative from having the extraction you should seek a consultation from a dentist with experience in placing dental implants. At that visit they will take a radiograph and do a clinical exam to determine the right time for implant placement. If you want to be certain that you are ready seek a dentist that has the ability to take a 3D CT scan of the extraction site. This will take out the guess work and give him/her the exact dimensions ( height, width, depth )of your jaw bone.

Answer: Dental Implant after Extraction You should always make sure the bone quality is optimal and this is seen with a CT scan. Its very important to make sure the foundation for a dental implant is solid before placing one. Immediate placement of dental implants is possible but again its very important to have the bone.

Answer: Dental Implant after tooth extraction If the root was removed 2 months ago, the best options is just to wait another 6 weeks and have the implant placed into a completely healed site. If bone is missing likely a bone graft will need to be preformed in order to idealize the site. It is possible at times to preform the extraction and implant placement in a single surgery. This is possible if several factors are present such as no acute infection and proper bone architecture.Best,

Answer: Dental implant after tooth extraction There are some options here. If the root is not infected and there is no bone loss around the root and the socket configuration left behind in the jawbone is ideal, then an implant likely can be placed at the same time as the extraction. However, if there is bone loss or severe infection and an implant can't be stabilized in the bone, then one of several different kinds of bone grafts need to be compelted first and then four to six months later the implant can be placed.

Answer: How soon after an extraction should an implant be placed? Whenever it's appropriate, an implant can be placed at the time of the extraction. So long as there is no significant infection in the root that's being extracted, and there is not significant bone loss that requires grafting then placing the implant at the same time will speed up the healing process. In some cases even if there is bone loss the implant can be placed and bone can be grafted around it at the same time as the extraction.If the site must be grafted and allowed to hea,l then the entire healing process will be extended by anywhere from 3 to 9 months depending upon the amount of bone that had to be added back.I hope you found this information helpful,Dr. Champagne
