Patients typically need to wait a minimum of 10 weeks after extraction to receive dental implants. Even if it’s been a few years, you’re one step closer to dental implant candidacy.
The only concern we may have if it’s been years since your extraction is whether or not you have sufficient bone density. One of the risks of living with missing teeth is bone loss in your jaw.
Candidacy for this procedure depends on a few factors, such as sufficient bone density and good overall oral health. The best way to know if you’re a candidate is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Klym at our Petosky office by calling (231) 774-6819.
During the consultation, he’ll examine your oral health and bone density to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for implants. Dr. Klym may also recommend supplemental procedures so that you can qualify for dental implants
