Immediate Implant: Can a Missing Tooth Be Replaced on the Same Day?

When a tooth is badly damaged or cannot be saved, many patients ask whether it can be removed and replaced with an implant immediately.
In selected cases, immediate implant placement may be possible. It depends on the condition of the bone, gum health, infection, bite and the stability achieved during implant placement.
The implant may be placed on the same day as extraction, but the final permanent crown usually requires healing and proper integration of the implant with the bone. A temporary tooth may be provided when clinically appropriate.
At Chennai Dental Mission, Anna Nagar, we evaluate the tooth and surrounding bone before deciding whether an immediate implant, delayed implant or another replacement option is best.
