Can I get a dental implant right after a tooth extraction?

Yes, Immediate Implant refers to the method in which the patient is implanted immediately at the same time as the tooth is extracted. There are many reasons for the extraction of autologous teeth. In some cases that do not affect the implantation surgery and meet the implantation conditions, doctors can consider immediate implantation for the patient. Immediate implantation can shorten the course of treatment, reduce costs, and prevent alveolar bone resorption because the implant is immediately implanted in the patient’s fresh extraction wound without waiting for 4-6 months after the extraction wound is repaired. The implant cannot form a good adhesion to the bone tissue in the extraction socket, and it is difficult to close the gingival wound, so it is easy to cause infection. At present, there are studies using biotechnology to overcome the defects of immediate implantation, so that immediate implantation has a higher success rate.
