What is the best replacement option after the upper #3 tooth extraction?

Can anyone share what is the best replacement option after the upper #3 tooth extraction and why? Thank you.

If adjacent teeth are in good health, than an implant. Or see how you go without it - you won't starve to death.

Is it recommendable to undergo the immediate implant after the upper #3 tooth extraction and why?

No. Allow it to fully heal and bone to stabilise (min. 6 months). However, it might be a time to perform socket preservation.
An immediate replacement may cause the bur to go in the wrong direction, and the bone may not be able to get initial stabilisation. And that's assuming you have a simple extraction.

This is related to a simple upper #3 tooth extraction. The socket preservation probably is the bone preservation procedure, entails placing new bone materials in the socket of the extracted tooth. Is the socket preservation necessary after an upper molar extraction if the dental implant is planned? In addition, what type of the bone material is the best for the upper #3 tooth socket (upper jaw) preservation procedure? Thank you for your help.

You won't necessarily know if it will be a simple extraction (or a surgical) until you get a grip on it. I have worked for 40 years and extracted 15,000+ teeth yet sometimes get a surprisingly hard (or easy) tooth which I wasn't expecting. Upper and lower first molars are usually very weak by the time they require extracting.
