How soon after an extraction can a dental implant be placed?

The timeframe from tooth extraction to dental implant placement varies by patient, but it can take several weeks. Your dentist will evaluate your case and give you a more precise timeline.

About Dental Implants in Wilbraham, MA

Dental implants start with a comprehensive consultation in our dental office. This visit checks your jawbone health and related issues to ensure your candidacy for implants.

During this consultation, we encourage you to ask questions and share your smile goals with the dentist.

If you’re a candidate, we begin treatment planning, which may include necessary tooth extractions.

On placement day, your dentist uses image-guided technology to place the implants in your jaw surgically. Then, there is a healing and integration period. After integration, we top the implants with new teeth (dental crowns) or a fixed denture/bridge.

Again, your dentist can provide a custom timeline for your implant journey following your consultation.

After implant placement and restoration, you can enjoy your favorite meals again and feel more confident in your smile.
