[QUOTE="leecoursey, post: 9799, member: 840"] It is absolutely possible to place an implant at the time of extraction. As for doctors who do this on a regular basis, I see a trend towards "sleeping" the implant, but immediate load in an extraction socket is fairly common these days. You want to have the tooth completely, or at least 80%, out of occlusion. Bone actually likes to be stressed, and it will heal and respond rapidly. The concept that is being pushed in research currently says this: why would you destroy two healthy teeth to put in a 3 unit bridge when you could just replace one tooth and save the tissue contours and the bone with an implant and immediate load? Just hope for good bone density and an atraumatic extraction. [/QUOTE]
