What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?

Same-day dental implants, also called immediate load implants, are dental implants that are placed and restored in a single visit. That means you receive the implant post and a temporary crown or denture on the same day.

Traditional implants usually require a healing period of 3 to 6 months before placing the permanent tooth. But with same-day implants, you skip the waiting and walk out with a confident smile, right away.

While the crown you receive on day one is usually temporary, it’s functional and natural-looking. After a few months of healing, the final crown or prosthesis is placed.

Same-day implants, also known as immediate load implants, let you get an implant and a temporary crown or denture in one visit. Unlike traditional implants that require months of healing before the final tooth is placed, this option gives you a functional, natural-looking smile right away.

You’ll leave your appointment with a temporary crown that looks and feels great, then return in a few months for your permanent restoration.

How Do Same-Day Implants Work?

Here’s a simplified step-by-step breakdown of what happens:

Consultation and digital imaging

We assess your oral health, bone density, and determine if you’re a candidate.

Implant placement

Using advanced 3D-guided technology, we place the titanium implant into the jawbone.

Immediate restoration

A temporary tooth or set of teeth is secured to the implant(s) the same day.

Healing and follow-up

Over the next few months, the implant bonds with the jawbone. Once healed, the temporary is replaced with a permanent crown or bridge.

Same-Day Implants vs. Traditional Implants

Same-day dental implants offer immediate results by placing both the implant and a temporary tooth in one visit, while traditional implants require several months of healing before the final tooth is placed. Both options are safe and long-lasting, but same-day implants provide faster cosmetic results and fewer appointments. Ideal candidates have good bone health and no active infections. If you qualify, same-day implants can be a quicker, more convenient path to a complete smile.
