I had my tooth extracted and can ive the temporary bridge on the same day or should i wait?

Q. I had my tooth extraction (tooth #31). Can the doctor put a temporary bridge on the same day when the extraction was done or he should wait some time? Thanks.

A. I would fit a temporary bridge , denture or an implant at the same time depending on the health of the gum and bone
