Summary

The investigators are asking subjects to take part in a research study of soft tissue (gums) and bone (jawbone) healing around dental implants following tooth extraction. The investigators want to compare how the gums and the bone changes shape with healing in two different scenarios:

1. When the implant is placed at the same time the tooth is extracted.
2. When the tooth is extracted and then left to heal for a period of 4 to 8 weeks before the implant is placed.

Previous studies have shown that both methods work and can give good results. In fact the two methods are used routinely as part of standard care but it is not known if the two procedures are equally good since they have never been compared in one same research study.
