Can I get immediate implants in the wisdom tooth position?

Doctor's Answer

Very rarely yes.

There are cases of people getting implants in the wisdom tooth position and that has to do with the bite and position of the wisdom tooth.

As you know, most people removed their wisdom teeth because they are impacted.

But in some cases, wisdom teeth grow up straight just like any other tooth, so in that case where it is actually a useful tooth that has a bite against the tooth on top, we can consider replacing the wisdom tooth with an implant in those situations.

But I would say it's rare and not a common thing to do and most people would have a good bite without any wisdom teeth in their mouth, so it's possible but very rare.
