How long after a tooth extraction can I get a dental implant?
Q. Hi please can you tell me long one can go before having a tooth implant after extracting a tooth?. Also when will it be late to have an implant after extracting a tooth?. Thanks & Kind Redgards,
A. It is possible to place an implant at the time of extraction or to wait for 4-6 months for the bone to heal. If you leave the bone for over 6 months it may shrink back and need supplementing prior to placing the implant
After the tooth/teeth are extracted how long would you need to wait for the implants my dentist has said 6 months but i have read that some people have dental implants placed on the same day as the extracions is this true or is it a special type of implant ? I dont want to have to wait 6 months without a tooth in my mouth as it looks ugly
I recently had a set of digital x rays done prior to having dental implants. Decided to have the work done, by a dentist closer to home, who did the x rays again digitally top and bottom jaw. Is it safe to have had so many x rays in just a couple of weeks? thanks for your time
Thanks for your question. The advent of digital technology has given us the advantage that radiation does are reduced. If you have any concerns then you should speak directly to the dentist that is carrying out your treatment. Regards
