Yes, you can have implants at any time if the jawbone is in good condition. It is advisable to get the missing tooth replaced as early as possible. With tooth loss, the jawbone also deteriorates over time, and the adjacent teeth shift from their positions. There may be a reduction in space due to the migration of neighboring teeth, which are moved to make room for implants. Hence, it is advisable to get the implants done as early as possible. However, there is no contraindication as such that prevents implants from being placed years after extraction.
