Immediate Implant placement after fracture*

When a tooth is extracted it can be possible to place an implant at the time of extraction.  It may not be possible in every case, but in this example it saved 3-4 months of healing time.  The implant is allowed to heal and integrate into the bone.  A small healing cap at the gum level is the only sign that there was an implant placed.  With the final crown the patient can clean, floss and chew like normal.
