Hi Kaz,
There is not one recommended extraction implant protocol. There are currently 3 treatment plans: immediate, early and late. It is site and case dependent what a dentist will recommend.
What is very important is that anterior extraction sockets or sockets with thin buccal bone plates be evaluated for the need of a socket bone graft placement to preserve the ridge height and ridge width.
