Losing a tooth suddenly, through fracture, infection or injury, creates two separate decisions: what to do about the immediate gap, and what the permanent replacement will be. Those don't have to be answered at the same time, and rushing the second one because of the first usually produces worse outcomes.
If the tooth is coming out or already gone, the most important immediate step is protecting the site. A socket preservation graft placed at extraction costs $300 to $1,200 and prevents the ridge collapse that would otherwise require far more extensive grafting later. Even if you're not ready to commit to an implant, grafting the socket keeps that option open and inexpensive.
For the visible gap, options are an immediate implant with a temporary crown where bone quality allows, a removable flipper, or a temporary bridge. Which applies depends on whether infection is present and how solid the surrounding bone is. Our same-day implants page covers when immediate placement is genuinely possible, and our single tooth implant page covers the permanent restoration.
Technician insight
The decision people regret most is having a tooth pulled with no socket graft and no plan. Two years later the ridge has collapsed and what would have been a straightforward implant now needs substantial reconstruction first.
