How long I hv to wait to replace crowns/veneers?

Q. I’ve recently had a wisdom tooth and molar next to it extracted. I am eager to proceed with treatment to replace a number of crowns/veneers and would like to know how long I should wait until I can have an impression done to get this work done. The extractions were difficult and I had to take two courses of penicillin but the site appears to be healing well? Thank you 

A. Difficult to generalise in this instance but I would not expect problems after a couple of weeks
