If the area is not infected then the extract and the graft can be done simutaneously. This does sometimes however require a second smaller graft procedure with the placement of the dental implant.
If the grafting to be done is only localised then the graft and implant can be placed at the same time both at the time of extraction or when the area has healed.
As you can see there are many options on how to approach the case and many variables to consider. Also, different implant surgeons will have different protocols dependant on there teaching and also experiance levels.
hope this is helpful.
