If my tooth is removed will I be left with a gap?
It is possible to have teeth extracted and immediately place dental implants into the extraction sockets – ‘Instant Implants’. You can even then have temporary teeth added onto these implants – ‘Instant Implants and Instant Teeth’. There are a few factors that can make it necessary to wait for healing after tooth removal, before an implant can be placed – the main factor being whether there is any sign of infection. If infection is present, we need to allow a healing phase of eight to twelve weeks before we can place the implants. Do not worry – you never need to have a gap if you do not wish to have one. There are all sorts of temporary solutions to make sure there is no embarrassment at any stage throughout the implant process.
