An immediate implant is a dental procedure where a tooth is extracted and a dental implant is placed into the socket immediately after the extraction of the tooth. This procedure helps in preserving the jaw bone and the gum tissues while drastically reducing the time gap between the extraction and restoration. This seamless approach is very convenient, reduces the overall treatment period and provides pleasing aesthetics & oral functions in shorter time frame as compared to the delayed implant.

A delayed implant is a dental procedure in which a dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone after waiting for a few weeks or sometimes even months (called as a healing period), followed by tooth extraction. This healing period helps the extraction site to recover, helps in regeneration of the bone as well as healing of gum tissues and also allow the bone to fuse with the surrounding tissue. Delayed implants are typically utilised when a patient’s jawbone needs more time to heal or when infections or other complications are required to be addressed prior to implant placement.
