How long does it take to get a veneer after a tooth extraction

September 3, 2023
Many people hope that the doctor can help them get dentures as soon as possible after tooth extraction, so that they can quickly restore the face and chewing function of the teeth, but the doctor always advises that they need to be patient and wait for several months, so how long after tooth extraction can they get dentures?

Factors affecting veneers

How long it takes to get a veneer after tooth extraction depends mainly on how many teeth were extracted and the reason for the extraction and what kind of denture was set.

The time of veneering when one or two teeth are extracted

If only one or two teeth that have been extremely loose are extracted, the veneer can generally be placed about two weeks after the extraction, because in this case the socket of the extracted tooth is shallow and the wound heals faster. In the case of white line loss of teeth, the veneering can also be shortened accordingly.

The time of tooth extraction and tooth setting

If the tooth is extracted due to tooth decay, only a few decayed teeth should be removed, and the time of setting should be postponed to about one and a half months or even two months after the tooth extraction. Because in this case, the extraction sockets are deeper and the damage to the alveolar bone is bigger, and the alveolar bone has to undergo a big reconstruction, which needs a longer time for recovery.

Time to set teeth after full extraction

If the teeth of the whole mouth have already fallen out on their own or have been extracted one after another, and the remaining teeth are either decayed or loose and have no value to be retained, the veneering can be started two months after the extraction of the last tooth.

Time for veneers after partial extraction

After the extraction of many teeth in the whole mouth, the time for veneering should be calculated according to the date of the last extraction, and the veneering can be done only two months after the last tooth is extracted.

Tips

After tooth extraction, there are many factors that affect the healing of the extraction socket and the reconstruction of the alveolar bone, so the time when the veneer can be placed needs to be decided by the dentist after a detailed examination before the veneer is placed, depending on the specific situation.
