What are the consequences of implant placement a week after tooth extraction?

Question

Mark Bishara, DDS · Answer

Hi, that is a good question.there are several time periods in which a dental implant can be placed1-immediate dental implant -this is placed at the same time of tooth removal given a set of criteria(no big infection, good surrounding bone walls, stability of the implant)2-delayed placement(2-3 weeks ) - at this period, no new bone will have formed yet, but the gum will have started to close off around the extraction site making closure with stiches easier3-full healing (waiting 2-3 months) - if you wait 2-3 months then new bone and gum tissue will have developed allowing for placement of the implant in new native bone(assuming the site did not need a bone graft). somtimes if the area was augmented with a bone graft we will wait 4-6 months prior to placementI hope that helps.  Generally waiting 1 week till placement offers no real advantage, it would be best at least to wait till gum closure has happened.

If the socket is intact after the extraction is completed, then it is typically preferable to place the dental implant at the same timeIf some bone is removed during the extraction process or infection has destroyed some of the bone, then a graft procedure will need to be performed. If this is the case, then placement of the dental implant will be delayed for 3 to 9 months depending upon how extensive a graft is needed.I hope you found the information helpful,Dr. Champagne

if the quality of bone its good, and the site where the implant is going to be placed you can find primary stability,there is no problem .also that way you will prevent the bone not to shrink. I hope this helps.
