I will have a tooth extraction. How long after tooth extraction can a bridge be done?

I would wait for about 1-2 months until the bone is completely healed . When bone and gum healed, it will shrink. Of you do a bridge early, you will have a gap underneath the bridge and the gum line, and causes food trap.
A temporary bridge could be done the same day as the extraction, however, full healing may take 4 to 8 weeks, so best to wait for permanent until healing is complete.
