Hi.

if you have a lot of infection it is better to remove the tooth and wait a few months to place the implant, but also for that is better than your dentist review and with the x-rays and you could say that is possible to perform the treatments together.

Merry Christmas and good luck

Immediate dental implants are often possible at the time of tooth extraction.  There are many factors that determine if this is possible including severe infection, quality and amount of bone in the area, location and type of tooth, etc.  Talk to your surgeon and they will tell you what is best in your particular situation
