Tooth Implant Guide is a free service that connects patients with local dental-implant providers and clinics. We are not a dental practice, we do not provide dental care, and nothing here is medical advice. Always consult a licensed dentist or oral surgeon.

The short answer

Sometimes. When the socket and surrounding bone are healthy, a surgeon may place an implant immediately after removing the tooth, which can reduce the number of surgeries. In other cases the site is grafted and left to heal first. Imaging and the condition of the bone and gums decide whether immediate placement is safe.
