Thank you so much for the info. I don't know anyone that has had a fractured root in their tooth or had an implant so this is very scary for me.

I am having the impression made for the flipper this week by my dentist. But was told it can take a week or two for the flipper to come back. And then the Oral Surgeon will pull the tooth. The Oral Surgeon wanted to wait to pull my tooth so I don't have to walk around with a missing front tooth. Which I agreed. So I won't be having the tooth pulled for at least two weeks. Which I am a little concerned about waiting another two weeks to have it pulled even though I will be on antibiotics.

I also think I have to have a bone graft. Does that hurt or feel weird? They are not putting the implant in the day of the extraction, so I guess they would do the bone graft at the extraction appointment?

Again, thank you for your reply. It was very helpful.
