Sometimes you can.
In certain situations, it’s possible to remove a tooth and place a dental implant during the same appointment. In other cases, allowing the area to heal first gives the implant the best chance for long-term success.
The decision depends on several factors, including the amount of healthy bone available, whether an infection is present, and whether the implant can be placed securely at the time of the extraction.
We’ll evaluate your tooth, review your CBCT scan if needed, and explain whether immediate implant placement is a good option for your specific situation.
