It depends on the situation of the tooth being extracted & where it is located. If there is no underlying infection & it is a tooth in the front of the mouth, it then is possible. But in general, a tooth which is being extracted is usually compromised and may have underlying issues which would prevent a practitioner from placing an "immediate implant.
Dental implant can be placed after extraction depending on the amount of bone left to support the implant.
If there is any infection at the end of the root to be extracted, placing tooth implant is contraindicated and can fail!
