Instead of waiting several months for healing before placing teeth, same day implants provide immediate results with a temporary crown, bridge, or denture placed on the same day.
As part of advanced Dental Implants, same day implants offer a fast, convenient, and effective solution for tooth replacement.
What Are Same Day Dental Implants?
Same day dental implants are implants that are placed and restored with temporary teeth in a single appointment.
This means patients can walk into the office with missing teeth and leave the same day with a complete smile.
This treatment is also known as:
-
immediate load implants
-
teeth in a day
-
same day teeth

How Same Day Dental Implants Work
Same day implants rely on placing dental implants with strong initial stability so a temporary restoration can be attached immediately.
The process includes:
-
Placing implants into the jawbone
-
Attaching temporary teeth the same day
-
Allowing the implants to heal and integrate over time
Once healing is complete, the temporary restoration is replaced with a permanent one.
Patients with insufficient bone may require Bone Grafting for Dental Implants before treatment.
