It is everyone’s dream to have neat and beautiful teeth. Dental implants are favored by patients with missing teeth. How long does it take to get dental implants after tooth extraction?
Due to poor constitution or slow recovery, some patients may still not be able to receive dental implant treatment after waiting for 3 months after X-ray examination. At this time, the doctor’s judgment is required. There is also a method in which a patient can have an implant placed immediately at the same time as the extraction is called Immediate Implant.
Immediate implantation can shorten the course of treatment and prevent alveolar bone resorption because the implant is immediately implanted in the patient’s fresh extraction wound without waiting for 4-6 months after the extraction wound is repaired.
Generally, dental implants can be given about 3 months after tooth extraction. About a week after tooth extraction, the gingival epithelium begins to cover the extraction socket, the internal blood clots begin to organize, the bone trabecular hyperplasia is active, and new bone tissue is gradually formed. After about 3 months, it basically returns to the normal bone tissue structure, and dental implant surgery can be performed.
Generally, implant placement only takes tens of minutes to complete. The osseointegration was observed after operation. After 3 months, if the osseointegration was good, the dental crown could be obtained. Osseointegration failure rarely occurs due to the selection of biomaterials with excellent compatibility with the human body.
