East Florence patients frequently come in after losing a tooth to decay or a fracture rather than as part of a long-planned restoration. When a tooth has already been extracted or is about to be, the timing question matters: placing an implant into a fresh extraction site is sometimes possible in a single visit and sometimes requires waiting for the socket to heal.
That decision depends on the bone at the site and whether infection is present. Our emergency tooth replacement page covers the immediate options, and same-day implants covers when immediate placement is realistic.
