Immediate implant placement is a dental implant procedure where the implant is placed into the jawbone immediately after the natural tooth extraction, without waiting for the socket to heal first. This technique is also known as immediate loading or same-day implants.   In traditional implant placement, after a tooth is extracted, a healing period of several months is required for the socket to heal and for the bone to fuse with the implant before the artificial tooth can be attached to it. However, with immediate implant placement, the implant is placed immediately after the tooth extraction, often using a specially designed implant that has a roughened surface to encourage bone growth and improve stability. This can reduce the overall treatment time and the number of office visits required for the procedure.   Immediate implant placement is a suitable option for patients who have good bone density and gum health and who have healthy teeth and gums adjacent to the extraction site. However, it may not be recommended in cases where there is a significant infection or damage to the bone or soft tissue surrounding the tooth socket. It is essential to consult with a dental professional to determine if immediate implant placement is the right option for your specific case.
