Immediate Front-Tooth Implants in West Roxbury, MA
When a visible front tooth must be removed, an implant may sometimes be placed at the extraction appointment. Nine One Dental plans the implant, gum support, temporary-tooth strategy, and final crown together from the start.
What does “immediate implant” actually mean?
An immediate dental implant is placed in the extraction socket during the same appointment that the failing tooth is removed. This approach can shorten the number of surgical stages and may help preserve the contours of a visible area when the site is suitable.
Immediate placement is different from receiving the permanent crown that day. A temporary tooth may be attached to the implant, supported another way, or delayed depending on implant stability, bite pressure, bone, infection, and gum tissue. The final implant crown is generally made after healing.
Implant placed at extraction
The failing tooth is removed and the implant is positioned during the same appointment.
A temporary tooth that day
A temporary restoration may be possible when stability, bite, and the treatment plan allow.
Custom crown after healing
The final crown is designed once the implant and surrounding tissues are ready.
Same-day placement is not right for every site. Staged treatment may provide a safer or more predictable result when bone, infection, gum tissue, implant stability, or bite forces are unfavorable.
A front tooth demands more than filling a gap.
The implant must support a tooth that fits the smile while protecting the thin bone and gum tissue that frame it.
Three-dimensional angulation affects the future crown, gumline, and cleaning access.
The thickness and contour of the facial bone and soft tissue influence the treatment sequence.
Tooth length, gum level, neighboring teeth, lip movement, and tooth shade are planned together.
A temporary tooth must be protected from excessive biting forces while the implant heals.

Replacing a visible tooth at the time of extraction.
These cases illustrate how immediate placement can be used in carefully selected front-tooth sites. They do not show every surgical or restorative step, and they do not guarantee a particular outcome. A clinical examination and 3D evaluation are needed to determine whether immediate or staged placement is appropriate.
Who may qualify for an immediate front-tooth implant?
The decision is made after evaluating the tooth, socket, gum tissue, bite, health history, and three-dimensional anatomy. Wanting a fast solution alone does not establish candidacy.
From failing front tooth to final implant crown.
The sequence may be immediate or staged. Your written plan should identify what happens at extraction, how the temporary tooth is supported, and when the final crown is expected.
Exam & 3D Imaging
Evaluate the tooth, infection, socket, bone, gums, neighboring roots, smile, and bite.
Careful Extraction
Remove the failing tooth while protecting the bone and soft-tissue architecture when possible.
Implant & Site Support
Place the implant in the restorative position and add graft material when recommended.
Temporary Tooth
Provide the provisional option appropriate for implant stability, appearance, and bite protection.
Final Custom Crown
Shape the final restoration around the healed implant, gums, neighboring teeth, and bite.
The safest sequence depends on the site.
Immediate treatment is one pathway. Each approach is designed around the same goal: a stable implant foundation and a front tooth that integrates with the smile.
Immediate Placement
The implant is placed when the tooth is removed. A temporary tooth may or may not connect directly to it.
Early Placement
The extraction site receives a short period of soft-tissue healing before implant placement.
Staged Placement
The site heals or is rebuilt first, then the implant is placed when the foundation is ready.

What affects immediate front-tooth implant cost?
The estimate depends on the extraction, 3D imaging, grafting or tissue support, implant components, temporary tooth, and final custom crown. The complexity of a visible front-tooth site can also affect the treatment sequence.
