How long does it take bone to regrow after tooth extraction? upper and lower jaw? thank
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1mm per month: It takes approximately one month for the bone to fill in 1 mm. So if the diameter of the extracted tooth is 10 mm, it will take approximately 5 months (10/2, since the bone grows from all sides) for the extraction site to fill in.
