What are my options for a #19 tooth extraction and how long do I have to do something? (photo)

purejoyNov 19, 2014
I recently had #19 extracted. I am not sure what to do. I definitely do not want a titanium implant and would lean towards a zirconian but am not ready. How much time do I have and what should I do in the interim to be sure not to have the 'drop' or any other issues. I could really get used to NOT having anything done (a little too much dental trauma this past year!) Please help with your opinion and suggestions for natural alternatives (I would travel). Thanks in advance!

Hi,Ideally 3 weeks is enough time to recuperate after implant / graft placement and there should not be any difficulty while long distance flying.I would still recommend that you speak to your dentist about the same before the surgery.Regards
