Can I wait an extra month after bone graft to get implants placed?

Q. I had a bone graft several months ago and the Dr. wants me to have another mouth scan this month 2 c if I’ve healed enuf for the implants. I would like to wait till next march for the implants because I don’t have the money right now. Would that be ok??? thanks,,
A. No the bone will probably shrink away too much if the implants aren’t placed, I would wait a maximum of 9 months from the time of the graft in most circumstances
