How Soon After Extraction Can You Get an Implant?

This is one of the top questions David Gwyer receives about Dental Implants. The answer depends on several factors, including infection, bone strength, and overall healing.

Immediate placement can occur on the same day as extraction when the area is free of infection and the bone is sturdy enough to support an implant. David Gwyer often recommends this method because it shortens treatment time and preserves bone structure.

Delayed placement happens after the socket heals—usually three to six months later—when more bone support is needed. It’s ideal if a graft has been performed or the extraction was complex.

David Gwyer’s diagnostic imaging ensures precise timing for each case. Whether immediate or delayed, his approach focuses on strong, lasting results.

Patients who follow post‑extraction care guidelines and choose professional implant placement by David Gwyer enjoy predictable, long‑term outcomes.
