Whenever a tooth is damaged and the treatment calls for a dental implant to replace it, the traditional and conventional protocol is to extract the tooth and preserve the socket for a later placement of an implant in the site. That time frame ranges between 4-6 months. The State-of-The Art technology allows us to extract a tooth and place the implant in the same site on the same day. This protocol will eliminate the need for multiple procedures and saves time towards the placement of the implant crown. Certain requirements are needed and must be met for the success of this procedure. You may discuss the same-day implant placement further with Dr. Garg to confirm that you are a candidate for such a procedure.
