When a tooth needs to be removed, many patients ask the same question: Do I have to wait months before getting a replacement? In many cases today, the answer is no. Immediate implant placement — where a replacement post is placed at the same visit as the extraction — has become a well-studied and widely used approach.
At Westinghouse Dental, patients often want to understand whether this faster method is right for them. The truth is that it can be an excellent solution — but only when the clinical conditions are right and proper protocols are followed.
