Timeframe for bone graft

[Charles Caracappa]

I just had a tooth extracted on my bottom left molar, second from the very back tooth (had wisdom tooth removed so the one after that). I wasn't prepared to decide on whether to get a bone grafting done. I intend on getting an implant done since they last longer and I already have a crown on the tooth next to the extracted one. I have Aetna insurance but the office is closed on weekends so they were unable to give me a quote on a bonegraft. How long do I have to get one done? I'm on a limited budget and need to plan all of this out strategically. Thanks!

why was the tooth extracted

It was a filled tooth that had broken recently. I started feeling tremendous pain and a crown was no longer an option.
