Can I get a dental prosthesis after having a tooth extracted six years ago?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
After six years since a tooth extraction, is it possible to get a dental prosthesis? The following注意事项 should be noted: 1. The patient needs a comprehensive examination to check for tartar, gingivitis, or other dental diseases, and to evaluate whether the oral condition is suitable for dental restoration. 2. The patient must have their gums examined to determine if the gum tissue is healthy enough and free from inflammation, ensuring the success of the dental restoration. 3. The patient also needs a dental evaluation to confirm whether there is sufficient tooth structure and adequate space for the prosthesis.
