The answer to this question depends on the type of replacement you choose. Generally, after an extraction, a person can receive dental implants within 2-3 months. This is if there is adequate bone for the implant to attach properly. If not, it may take longer to receive your implants as additional procedures and treatments may be necessary to prepare the site for the implant. In cases where bone grafting is required, it can take up to four months or more before implants can be placed.
