Answer: Following extractions how does one have to wait before implants placed This really depends on the particular case specifics in terms of the presence of infection , amount of grafting required , cosmetic requirements and even sometimes the medical history of the patient.. In some instances an implant can be placed at the time of extraction with grafting , sometimes wait 3-6 weeks following extraction and sometimes if it is a more extensive bone graft it could be 6 months.

Answer: Wait to get implants The best alternative will be to get the teeth extracted and place the implants at the same time so you don't go through surgery twice, but as you have an infection and you need a bone graft, the best way to proceed in your case is to wait at least 6 months before placing implants as they risk infection too and you need the bone to get attached properly.
