How long after tooth extraction can you get a dental prosthesis?

In general, it takes about 1 to 2 weeks after tooth extraction before dental prosthetics can be fitted. During this period, patients should follow their dentist's instructions and properly care for the extraction site to ensure proper healing of the socket. After tooth extraction, patients should avoid eating hard foods and minimize any damage to the teeth to prevent interference with the healing process. Patients are encouraged to drink plenty of water and maintain good oral hygiene by using dental floss and mouthwash daily to prevent infection. It is advisable to consume light, nutritious foods such as vegetables, fruits, and porridge, which are mild in taste and less likely to irritate oral inflammation, thereby promoting recovery.
