The answer is yes, in some cases. Each patient's situation is unique, but sometimes we can place an implant simultaneously.
The factors for placing an implant immediately after tooth extraction may depend on:
- Sufficient Jaw Structure — If there is enough jawbone structure left after a tooth extraction to successfully support a dental implant.
- Infection-Free — There must be no infection at the extraction site. Tooth extraction often occurs due to an infection, which could cause an implant to fail.
- Healthy Gum Tissue — The gum tissue around the tooth is healthy enough to support a dental implant.
If your jawbone needs time to heal before implant placement, Dr. Jenkins will monitor it throughout the process.
