A method for preserving the alveolar ridge surrounding a presently extracted root socket by backfilling the socket with bone graft material and installing an implant (240) in the root socket area either immediately before backfilling or after backfilling and a delay in which new bone is allowed to grow into the bone graft material. In one embodiment, the dental implant (240) is installed apically into the root socket (90) immediately following root extraction. The open area of the root socket surrounding the implant is then backfilled with bone graft material immediately after implant placement. The implant (240) is preferably a threaded implant (but it can be a cylinder-type) which is placed approximately three to six millimeters apically to said root socket.
