Answer: Dental Implant after tooth extraction If the root was removed 2 months ago, the best options is just to wait another 6 weeks and have the implant placed into a completely healed site. If bone is missing likely a bone graft will need to be preformed in order to idealize the site. It is possible at times to preform the extraction and implant placement in a single surgery. This is possible if several factors are present such as no acute infection and proper bone architecture.Best,

Answer: Dental implant after tooth extraction There are some options here. If the root is not infected and there is no bone loss around the root and the socket configuration left behind in the jawbone is ideal, then an implant likely can be placed at the same time as the extraction. However, if there is bone loss or severe infection and an implant can't be stabilized in the bone, then one of several different kinds of bone grafts need to be compelted first and then four to six months later the implant can be placed.
