Wondering when implants are placed?
Typically, they're inserted a few months after extraction. In some cases, immediate placement right after tooth removal is possible, streamlining the process with minimal delays. However, this approach isn't suitable if there's infection or bone issues.
If your tooth has been missing for a while, adjacent bone support can diminish over time. The natural tooth root stimulates bone growth, and without it, the jawbone may shrink. Up to a third of jawbone thickness can be lost within a year post-extraction. If you lack sufficient bone, grafting may be recommended to ensure the implant has strong support.
