Can a Dental Implant Be Placed the Same Time a Tooth Is Extracted?

In this video, Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr. explains whether a dental implant can be placed at the same time a tooth is removed and what factors determine whether that is possible.

Yes, implants can often be placed immediately after a tooth is extracted, a process known as immediate implant placement. This approach can help preserve bone and reduce the total treatment time. However, it depends on the condition of the extraction site and whether infection is present. A detailed evaluation is required to determine if this is the best course of action. If you are facing an extraction, scheduling a consultation allows you to plan ahead and potentially avoid additional procedures.
