How long after tooth extraction should one get a dental prosthesis?

The timing for dental restoration after tooth extraction depends on the healing of the oral cavity and the type of prosthesis. Generally, it is necessary to wait until the alveolar socket has stabilized, which typically takes 2 to 3 months, and sometimes up to 6 months. For removable dentures, restoration can usually be done 1 to 2 months after extraction; for fixed prostheses and dental implants, it is recommended to wait 3 to 6 months post-extraction. The exact timing should be determined in consultation with a dental professional, who will advise on the optimal restoration time based on individual circumstances.
