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

Generally, the optimal time frame for getting dental prostheses is between 3 to 6 months after tooth extraction. During this period, the extraction site gradually heals and the alveolar bone stabilizes in height, which facilitates successful prosthetic treatment. If a patient has weak immunity or existing oral inflammation, healing may take longer and the timing for prosthetic placement should be postponed accordingly. During the recovery period, regular follow-up visits to the hospital are recommended to monitor wound healing and determine the appropriate time for prosthetic restoration. Prior to fitting dentures, the dentist will conduct a comprehensive oral examination to ensure both the effectiveness of the prosthetic treatment and the patient's safety.
