I've had teeth removed years ago. Is it still possible to get implants?

Asked By:Brian1984 in Wichita, KS

I had about nine teeth pulled due to an infection and have partial dentures. I hate them. I can't taste anything or talk with them in and have difficulty eating with them. I would like to save for implants but I was told that the studs have to be implanted as soon as the tooth was removed or it would not be possible. Is this true? Am I doomed to have dentures for the rest of my life?
