I will have two teeth extracted soon. One has an infection and it will need bone grafting. How long can I wait to get implants? Do I get both at the same time or can I wait? How long? they are one of the front teeth.
Answer: It can be done, but...
Of course it can be done, you can place the implant right after an extraction, however it is not recommended. remember that the most important part after placing a dental implant is the osseointegration process that takes place within your body. basically that first step is the must important. You must be patient with this process, first the extractions and getting rid of your infection with antibiotics, your dentist can make for you temporary teeth is aesthetics is a concern, and then if necessary a bone grafting and then after 2 months the placement of the implant and then after another 6 months, the placement of the abutment and crown. That would be the step by step process, however you can try doing it all at once and wait to see the results because you mus remember there is nothing definitive in dentistry.

Answer: How long after an extraction should you wait to place a dental implant? How long after an extraction should you wait to place a dental implant? Assuming that you had a bone graft done at the time of the extraction, then it will depend on the condition of the socket at the time of the extraction. If there was no significant bone loss, then the implant can be placed 12-14 weeks later. If there was significant damage either before or during the extraction, then it may require significantly more time to heal before implant placement. Hope you found this info to be helpful, Dr Champagne

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.
