For # 11 can you place the dental implant at same location of tooth after extracting it or do you need to place implant diffident location. why.

Round peg, oval hole: In certain instances, an implant can be immediately placed. In other situations it is better to wait until the bone heals. If there isn't enough bone to support an implant at the #11 site, then it would be placed at a different location. Discuss all your options pertinent to your situation with your surgeon.

Depends: This is a good question. The placement of an implant depends on the amount and location of available bone. If there is adequate bone after the extraction, and the area is free from infection, your dentist may choose to place the implant at the same time as the extraction.

Frequently: If #11 is extracted, it would be great to place the implant in the same place. But: Is there enough bone? If not enough, is bone grafting possible? Is it possible to get the implant close enough to the right spot to facilitate proper restoration even if there is some bone damage? Is all the infection gone?

Not uncommon: In most cases, the tooth can be extracted and the implant placed at the same time in the same alveolar socket.
