If he waits to do grafting, there's a good chance it won't take. It preferably should've been done at the time of extractions.

It's more a case of bone quality rather than time that impacts success or failure. For example, split ridge augmentation is often done well after the teeth were removed. In addition, if the teeth were periodontally involved and/or there was active infection, it's usually wise to wait a week or two post op and possibly have the patient on antibiotics prior to graft placement. Think of it like having an appendectomy. The surgeon doesn't just grab the scalpel an make the incision. He prepares the site first to eliminate bacteria. Same concept.

Having said all that, it would be wise to do the grafting as soon as possible to preserve as much bone as possible. Without teeth or implants, there's no stimulation and the bone resorbs and that's no bueno for denture wearers.

Makes sense. I work in a dental office and we typically aren’t extracting more than 5 teeth at a time. If the patient has severe perio, impactions or are getting full mouth then we refer those cases out. It just irritates me when I see people getting full mouth and dentures and their dentist didn’t push for grafting. They end up with ill fitting dentures that won’t stay in their mouth because they have no ridge left to support them.
