After the teeth are extracted, the alveolar bone starts to resorb, and the rate of resorption is faster in the first three months after the extraction, and the resorption is basically stable after three months (i.e. the wound is completely healed in 2-3 months after the extraction), which is conducive to the long-term fit of the denture and the alveolar ridge, as well as the stability and chewing function of the denture.

Generally, young people can have their teeth set in about two months.
Older people need about three months to get a veneer because of the slow healing of the extraction wound.
If the teeth are set immediately after extraction, if it is a fixed denture, it may lead to a gap between the gingival end of the bridge and the mucosa in the future, thus affecting the self-cleaning and aesthetic effect; if it is a movable denture or a complete denture, there will be a gap between the tissue surface of the abutment and the oral mucosa, and a large amount of food will be embedded in the gap when eating, and the denture will be poorly fixed and easy to break.
