Implants can be placed soon after extractions
There IS a method to placing implants soon after extractions, but the most predictable method is to wait 2-3 months. You could have a consultation now to plan for the future, and if the dentist feels you are a candidate for right away then all the better. If the extraction had a lot of "collateral damage" then grafting and more time might be needed.

An implant can be placed 8-10 weeks after an atraumatic extraction.
Therefore at 2 months after the extraction, you should go to the periodontist/oral surgeon for a pre operative, pre implannt placcement visit. At this visit, you should have an x-ray of the bone and determine if the density/volume of the bone is adequate.

Getting a dental Implant after tooth removal.
There are a lot of cases now, with todays Implant technology, where Implants can be placed at the same time the original tooth is extracted (removed).

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...

How long after extraction to place an implant
Typically, two to three months of healing is adequate for implant placement. Your surgeon can make the determination as appropriate in your case. If bone grafting is done in an extraction site, then one has to wait four to six months. After extraction without grafting, bone undergoes gradual resorption after three months and then becomes stable in 9-12 months. This is the reason for recommending to place implant in that two to three month window, because the bone is healed adequately...

You are good to go for implant placement.
As all theother replies have suggested,,the healing period has been long enough and you are well suited to go for a consult and begin treatment. Ask the Dr if he uses ASTRA implants..they are the best ones.
