Hello, The answer to your question revolves around the common practice oral surgeons employ of socket preservation. Socket preservation is a treatment that prevents the rapid bone deterioration that typically occurs after a tooth is extracted or lost. Oral surgeons are often able to perform a socket preservation procedure immediately after a tooth has been removed. This procedure is time-efficient because it saves the patient from needing a separate bone grafting procedure later when they’re ready for dental implants.
your question is a great one and the answer really depends on how your teeth fit together If when you posture your lower jaw forward, your lower teeth are in front of your upper teeth, the look you desire could likely be achieved with a simple chin augmentation If when you move your lower jaw forward as pictured, your teeth come into a more normal relationship with your upper teeth still slightly over the lower teeth, a mandibular advancement surgery would likely be a better answer for you
