Tooth Extractions & Immediate Implants in Riverview: How to Lose a Tooth Without Losing Your Smile

Websites EnergizeGroup • December 12, 2025

Why “Immediate” Matters

Hearing that a tooth needs to be removed can feel like a setback. But at Best Value Dentures & Implants – Riverview, an extraction doesn’t have to mean months with a gap or a removable flipper. In many cases, we can place a dental implant the same day as the extraction—a strategy called immediate implant placement. This approach protects your jawbone, preserves your gum line, and accelerates the journey to a natural-looking replacement tooth.

What Is an Immediate Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces a lost tooth root. Instead of waiting 8–12 weeks after an extraction for your bone to fill in before placing an implant, we carefully remove the tooth and place the implant on the same visit. The implant is positioned into healthy bone, and the site may be augmented with bone graft material to maximize stability. Depending on bite forces and site conditions, we may secure a temporary tooth so you leave looking complete.

Who Qualifies for Same-Day Placement?

Immediate implants work best when:

  • The surrounding bone is healthy and free of infection.
  • The socket walls are largely intact after removal.
  • You have good oral health and no uncontrolled systemic conditions that impair healing.
  • Your bite forces can be managed to protect the new implant during the integration phase.

Even if you’re not a candidate for an immediate crown (a tooth secured to the implant right away), you may still be a candidate for an immediate implant with a protective temporary that avoids chewing forces.

Immediate vs. Delayed: Pros and Considerations

Immediate Advantages

  • Fewer surgeries, fewer visits. Tooth out, implant in—streamlined and efficient.
  • Gum and bone preservation. The implant helps maintain natural contours that shape your smile.
  • Faster esthetics. Many patients avoid the “gap” period entirely with a same-day temporary solution.

Considerations

  • Strict aftercare. You’ll follow a softer diet and avoid biting directly on the implant site.
  • Case selection matters. Severe infection or thin bone may require staged treatment.

The Step-by-Step Visit

  1. Consultation & 3D Scan – We review your health, photograph your smile, and take a cone-beam CT to assess bone.
  2. Atraumatic Extraction – The tooth is gently removed with techniques that spare bone and soft tissue.
  3. Implant Placement – The implant is seated to precise torque specifications for primary stability.
  4. Grafting & Membrane (If Needed) – Bone graft material fills small gaps; a barrier membrane may assist healing.
  5. Temporary Tooth – Depending on stability and bite, a same-day temporary can be placed out of occlusion.
  6. Healing – Over 8–12+ weeks, bone fuses to the implant (osseointegration).
  7. Final Crown – We attach a custom-shaded crown, fine-tune your bite, and celebrate the finish line.

Comfort, Healing, and Home Care

  • Comfort: Local anesthetic keeps the procedure comfortable. Many patients are surprised how easily they recover with recommended medications and cold compresses.
  • Diet: Think “soft but nutritious”—eggs, yogurt, pasta, flaky fish, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies. Avoid seeds and hard, crunchy items on the treated area.
  • Hygiene: Gentle brushing plus saltwater rinses keep the site clean; avoid vigorous swishing and straws the first few days.
  • Habits: If you grind, a nightguard protects all your teeth and the implant.

Cost & Financing

Immediate placement can be comparable in cost—or even more affordable—than staged treatment because it reduces the number of surgical visits. Your exact fee depends on the site, need for grafting, and the type of temporary. At Best Value Dentures & Implants – Riverview, we keep advanced care within reach with competitive pricing, a Best Price Guarantee on implants, and flexible monthly payments.
