How Soon After a Tooth Extraction Can I Get a Dental Implant?

In this video, Dr. Rose Magno explains how soon dental implants can be placed after a tooth extraction and what healing factors affect timing.

Okay, so I can place the implant right after I wiggle your tooth out. I’m going to have to put a bone graft, which is like bone seeds, inside the socket or the hole. Especially if you’re over 60, it takes a long time for elderly folks to regrow that bone. So we use a bone graft to help regenerate or stimulate bone growth.
Anyway, after I pull the tooth, I can put the bone graft in there and then put the implant in the same day. Then we have to wait until the hole closes, and in the meantime, you could be wearing a temporary crown. We’ll wait maybe a couple weeks or a couple months. We’ll see how everything goes and how you’re healing, and then if everything looks good, we can put in the permanent crown afterward.
