Hi There. Is It Possible To Have An Implant And A Crown Put In Immediately After Extraction?

Monday, October 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi there. I have an upper premolar (24) that has undergone RCT and has been heavily restored with a composite filling. My dentist felt that a post crown was not an option as in their opinion the tooth would not be able to support it. I am considering having an implant but I am not keen on the conventional method due to the length of time that the process can take. Is it possible to have an implant plus crown put in immediately after extraction (I know that this would depend on bone density and the area being infection free etc)?
Thank you in advance!

How soon after tooth extraction do I need to have implants to save bone density?

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Julian,

I had tooth extraction today which was a process of just five minutes and later I was left in pain and severe bleeding and was not prescribed anything and had gone home and taken two Paracetamol’s. I just want to know as to how soon do I need to have implants done in order to save my bone density and tissues. I am 32 years old and have been gifted in the past with good teeth but due to neglecting my teeth and having too many sugary drinks, one of my tooth decayed and as a result I have had to have it taken off today.
Will this loss of my tooth effect my other teeth as well?? Please let me know as I am very confused about what I should do next and how soon.
