State of the Art Immediate Implant Placement in the Premaxilla

The goal of this clinical study is to learn how well immediate implant placement works in the front upper jaw (premaxilla) when using flapless guided surgery, hard and soft tissue augmentation, and immediate provisional crowns. It will also learn about the safety and esthetic results of this treatment approach. The main questions it aims to answer are: Primary: How much buccal bone thickness remains one year after implant placement 1mm below the implant shoulder? Secondary: * How do patients rate pain, healing, and esthetics after treatment? * Are there any complications over the course of five years? * How much buccal bone thickness remains one year after implant placement 3mm and 5mm below the implant shoulder? * Marginal bone loss at one-year and five-year follow-up? * Peri-implant health at one-year and five-year follow-up? * Soft tissue changes at one-year and five-year follow-up? Researchers will compare treatment results in patients with intact bone sockets to those with damaged (non-intact) sockets. Participants will: * Receive a dental implant and temporary crown on the same day as the tooth extraction * Undergo guided, flapless surgery with bone and soft tissue grafting * Take antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for 4 days after surgery * Visit the clinic at 1 week, 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years for follow-up exams * Have X-rays, digital scans, and photos taken to measure bone and soft tissue changes * Answer questions about pain and esthetic satisfaction
