Implant with crown

Traditionally, a tooth is removed, the site heals for months, and then the implant is placed. Immediate implants can shorten that timeline.

Who is a good fit

Immediate placement works best when there is no active infection and enough healthy bone to hold the implant firmly.

Benefits

  • Fewer surgical visits
  • Less time without a tooth
