What Is The Right Time To Get Tooth Implant?
My daughter was planning to get her implant in January after her tooth got knocked out in August. Its now recommended for her to wait untill she's 17 cause her mouth could still be growing because she is 16yrs old.Could she get it sooner with no problems. She also already had braces for 4yrs which got off in July'

Dear sir
4 months is good time for extraction socket to heal. You can wait till 17 but if the space is left with out prosthesis then their might be mesial migration of adjacent teeth which again might create problem while placing an implant. Do take opinion on this.
