Treatment options: What you describe is often a reasonable option, although without personally examining you and seeing x-rays of the area, we can't tell you what is best in your case, or as you put it "OK?".

The other and possibly better solution is to find out why implant failed and see if it can be replaced. See a Oral Surgeon or Periodontist for implant review.
