Its not always required..we can place implants along with extraction of tooth...your current clinical situation is not clear..have you extracted the entire tooth???or just lost the crown portion...if its a fracture of crown portion,there are many other treatment options also....for a completely extracted tooth,you can wait 3-6 mths for adequate bone formation...in the mean time u may use other prosthetic options to replace tooth temporarily
Next Steps
consult an implantologist
