Dr. Katie To explains why some patients aren't ready for dental implants right after extraction. Your body might need time to heal first. She frames it not as permanent rejection but as waiting until your health improves enough to handle the implant.
What recommendations are you giving to your patients when they do have to remove that tooth to get something replaced there? Again, patients have to understand all the options because the well-informed patients are the happy patients. Because it is, again, their body, their choice, and we respect their choice no matter what. Also, they have to respect their body biocompatibility. I have patients really want to get implant done, but their body can't handle it. Doesn't mean never. Most of the time it mean not now, maybe later when you heal more, when your body can tolerate more.
