Can my Implant be placed at the same appointment as my extraction?

Same Day Implants | Northport NY Dentist If conditions are not favorable, we recommend not placing a temporary in areas that are not esthetically critical. Where aesthetics are a concern, we can discuss the best option that applies to your individual situation.  We want to ensure clinical success in the long term as well as make the transitional period of healing as uneventful as possible.

Local factors usually determine whether or not this is feasible and/or recommended. If there is adequate bone volume and initial stabilization of the implant can be achieved, “immediate” placement can be an advantage. Not only does it eliminate a separate procedure but it advances the timeline, allowing the tooth replacement to be placed that much sooner.

Reasons We Can't Place It at the Same Appointment

If infection is present at the time of extraction, "immediate" implant placement is not recommended. Factors like smoking, alcohol use, underlying medical conditions, and medications also play a role in the decision-making process.

After the extraction, the condition of the bone socket must be evaluated. If the bone is insufficient, implant placement will be delayed, and the site may need to be grafted to ensure the bone volume is adequate for the implant's long-term success and "health".
