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
- Can help preserve gum and bone shape
Things to know
Not every site qualifies, and a temporary tooth often needs gentle treatment while the implant heals. We will tell you honestly whether it is right for you.
