When is the best time for dental veneers

Generally speaking, it is necessary to wait for the wound to heal completely before placing a veneer after a tooth extraction, and it takes 2-3 months for the alveolar socket to fully form bone tissue after a tooth extraction. The anterior teeth have only one root and the socket is small, so the recovery is faster, while the posterior teeth have multiple roots and the socket often takes 1.5-2 months to grow flat, i.e. there is no bump on the surface before the veneer can be placed. Therefore, 2-3 months after tooth extraction is generally the best time for veneering. In addition, as the alveolar bone of the original tooth root is recovering after extraction, sometimes bone tip will appear. In general, when 1-2 teeth are extracted, most of the alveolar bone will not appear in the above situation, and only after most of the teeth or the whole mouth is extracted, it is necessary to make a revision surgery. Therefore, after tooth extraction, you should go to the dentistry department for a review within 1-2 weeks so that you can have the alveolar bone trimmed in time to prepare for the dental implant.
