Yes, this is common practice, but there are reasons why it may not be advisable. Please consult with your dentist about this.
Hi! Technically, it can be done, but not in every situation. The implant needs to be larger than the tooth were replacing in order for the implant to have stability and integrate with the bone properly. So it all depends on the tooth being replaced and how much bone there is. Hope that helps! Dr. Matt Nordlie
Yes but it should b extracted in our office
We have a unique method of extraction that does not remove any bone so usually no bone grafting is necessary
Yes it can We need to assess the tooth structure, bone integrity and its strength And after that we can definitely take a decision But it drones in case to case You can definitely get something to wear temporarily on the day after the extraction irrespective of we do implants on same day or not
