Dental Impant - How long between extraction and implant?

I am having a tooth #13 pulled on Thursday in preperation for a dental implant. It cracked and I have decay near the root so the periodontist actually suggested an implant over RCT and a crown. I cannot figure out exactly how long this will take (other than "months"). How long between the extraction and the implant surgery? How long after the surgery do I get the crown? I am trying to get pregnant right now and I am a little worried about how that will affect the timeline on this.

I would definitely get an implant in place of this tooth. It's pretty close to the front of your smile (visible). Depending on you and how your body heals. The dentist will wait until you your extraction site is healed, and then proceed with the implant process. There are sterile implant parts that have to be placed in the bone, and this is usually a mini-surgical procedure in the dental office. At a certain point you have to have healing caps placed. Sometimes implants take anywhere from 4-6 months, maybe a year. During this process you'll have to come back and get impressions once the implant can be exposed and then these materials are sent to a lab where your crown is fabricated. It's not a one shot deal. It will take a little bit of time. You may want to consult your dentist about your expectant situation and novocaine administration during pregnancy, unless you can wait until the end of your pregnancy to get started where you are out of the first stages/trimesters. Goodluck!
