How long, in general does it take for bone to fill in extraction sites? I had bone grafts done at the time of extraction. The Oral Surgeon stated that the 'optimum time to do implants would be at about 3 months'. When I asked how long I could wait due to financial considerations he said, 'once bone fills in, if nothing is implanted, the bone begins to resolve after 3 months. Best time for implants following bone grafts would be about 3 months.

Thank you,
