How long is the time frame for immediate dental implants?

Tooth extraction will always cause bone loss in the extraction site. When a tooth is removed, functional forces cannot be transmitted to the bone supporting that tooth. Bone loss occurs to conserve resources (to build and maintain bone at the same volume). This is a physiological (natural) phenomenon that keeps our bodies functioning efficiently. There are techniques to reduce (but not prevent) bone loss (bone grafting) at the time of extraction. Bone grafting using artificial bone does not produce the same volume of native (a continuation of the patient's own jawbone) bone.

Thank you for your enquiry on baby teeth and dental implants. From the Dental Panoramic Xray that you have provided , it is seen that you have several over-retained baby teeth due to congenitally missing adult teeth. Generally speaking, it is advisable to replace your baby tooth with an implant if :1. It is badly decayed2. It is very loose and mobile3. It is cracked, damaged or badly worn down4. It is affecting the way you smile because it is aesthetically not pleasing to you5.
