A member asked:
If i get a tooth pulled out and get an implant after a year, will my face look the same as how it looked before my extraction?

Yes: Losing one tooth will not affect structures of your face. If it is a front tooth, it will be an esthetic issue when smiling without a replacement tooth.

It Should: You are replacing the tooth with an artificial root and crown that will be virtually identical.

No facial change: The problems caused by waiting a year include1) loss of alveolar (tooth supporting) bone necessitating ridge augmentation prior to implant placement, and 2) collapse of adjacent and/or opposing teeth into the extraction space necessitating orthodontic correction.
