Immediate Dental Extraction and Dental Implant Placement

Immediate dental extraction and dental implant placement is an advanced procedure where a damaged or non-restorable tooth is removed and a dental implant is placed into the extraction socket during the same appointment. This technique helps reduce the overall treatment time, preserves the natural bone and gum contours, and allows patients to begin the tooth replacement process immediately after extraction.
The procedure is recommended when the surrounding bone is healthy and there is no active infection that could compromise implant stability. After the tooth is extracted, the implant is carefully positioned in the jawbone. Depending on the clinical condition, a temporary restoration may be placed while the implant heals before the final crown is attached.
Scientific studies show that immediate implant placement can achieve success rates comparable to delayed implant placement when proper case selection and surgical protocols are followed. Preserving the extraction socket also helps minimise bone resorption, which naturally occurs after tooth removal, improving both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
