After Getting a tooth pulled can they replace it with a false tooth?

I need to get my back molar pulled and I wanted to know if its possible for my dentist to replace it later down the road or would they have to replace it immediately after the extraction?

After Getting a tooth pulled can they replace it with a false tooth?
As a dentist I can tell you that you will be able to replace your lost tooth later down the road with a dental implant, partial or with bridge work. You will need to wait until after your extraction site heals, which in some cases takes many months for the gums to completely heal and close. A veneer is a COVERING for a tooth, not a replacement, to have a veneer you would need to have a tooth present to be covered, and this is of course not possible after an extraction. Talk with your dentist before your extraction, he/she will be able to explain all the options available to you. Be sure to follow all of your dentists instructions post-extraction to ensure the proper healing if your gums and to prevent dry socket. Good luck!
Reply:i believe you can do it whenever you want. they will put in a veneer.
Reply:They can do implants further down the road. Ask your dentist about it while you're there!


Good luck!

Reply:They can be replaced (called implants) but the extraction site has to heal first.
Reply:can replace it later but it would hurt alot less if you did it sooner
Reply:You would be able to get it replaced with a veneer. And it could be done at any time...and I wouldn't worry too much about it, at least it is a back molar. Is it your new molars growing in you are getting pulled? B/c those ar not supposed to be replaced.
Reply:i say yes OR they can apply braces to lesion the gap
Reply:yes they can put in a dental implant whenever u have the money
Reply:if it is a wisdom tooth it does not need to be replaced. if it is a true molar you can have an implant asap. you dont need to wait. the healing time for an implant is about 4-6 months but you will have a temp tooth in place. when that heals the temp will come off and a crown will be placed. cost....anywhere from 3-5,000. good luck
Reply:If you have enough bone mass they can replace it with a dental implant.
Reply:What? What are some of you guys talking about? You can't replace a pulled tooth with a veener! It's an implant you'd use. A veneer covers a tooth. And if she is getting the tooth pulled, how the hell could you cover it???
