When there is persistent infection, it's better to wait till the infection subsides to place the implant after removing the tooth.

Cannot do implants till growth is complete. Wait. Also could you share the Xray. It might be possible to save the tooth and you may not need an implant at all. Please consult me privately with an x-ray of the said tooth.
