Should I need to wait for 6 months to treat my extracted tooth?

Q. Hi i recently extract a tooth,now i have this empty space, the dentist said that he can do it in 6 months.is it true or is it possible for you to do it before and how much will that cost? regards

A. It is best to leave the area to heal for at least 12 weeks unless you are going to have an implant in which case it is best to have implant placed 3-4 weeks after the extraction.
