Implant placement in the anterior maxilla poses highest amount of aesthetic challenges concerning with bone loss after extraction of tooth, that is followed by collapse of the buccal gingiva. This leads to a scenario where implant placement becomes difficult and the aesthetic of the surrounding mucosa is compromised. Through the process of immediate implant placement just after the extraction reduces the treatment time and cost, preserves the aesthetic of the surrounding mucosa and increases the comfort of the patient. here in this case report, we have discussed the results of an immediately placed implant in the region of maxillary left and right lateral incisor region with bone regeneration using a non-resorbable membrane and no other graft materials. in the 18 months follow up, the implant placement showed a stable peri implant condition which was confirmed through clinical and radiographic evaluation.
