What are Same Day Dental Implants?

Same-day dental implants involve the immediate removal of unsavable teeth and the placement of prosthetic teeth in one day. Instead of months between removing teeth and installing dental implants, and additional months between the implants and applying the dental crown, an implant dentist does the entire process in one day.

This protocol has gained great popularity throughout the world for both professionals and patients because it eliminates the waiting period for a typical dental implant procedure.

How Does It Work?

Now, it’s possible to go from having missing teeth to having a full set of teeth in one day. If you desire a more beautiful smile without having to wait, our state-of-the-art same-day process eliminates the four to six-month implant integration period before placing new teeth.

Today, teeth can be removed, dental implants placed, and a fixed temporary bridge inserted within 12 hours in most cases. Our dentist typically replaces the provisional bridge in 3-4 months with a permanent prosthetic.

Benefits

Here’s a concise, patient-friendly bulleted list you can use for web or blog content:

Immediate function – Leave the office with a secure, functional tooth the same day
Faster treatment timeline – Implant placement and temporary restoration in one visit
Fewer appointments – Reduces the need for multiple surgical procedures
Preserves bone and gum structure – Helps prevent bone loss after tooth extraction
Natural look and feel – The temporary tooth is designed to blend with the surrounding teeth
Improved comfort and confidence – Avoids gaps or removable temporary appliances
Predictable outcomes – Advanced imaging and guided planning enhance precision
High success rates – When properly planned and placed in suitable candidates

Limitations

Not every patient and not every site qualifies for same-day dental implants. Patients need to understand the limitations of such treatment. It is strongly recommended that patients be on a soft diet during the three-month healing period to limit the functional forces during osseointegration. While this cannot be easily enforced, patient compliance is important for success. Our implant dentist provides instructions on the aftercare procedures in person.

Thanks to same-day dental implants, you can have a new smile after just a single visit! An experienced implant dentist at dpb will be happy to show you how you can have a beautiful smile in only a few hours. Contact us today for a consultation for a brand-new smile!

FAQs About Same-Day Dental Implants

1. What are same-day dental implants?

Same-day dental implants—also known as immediate-load or “teeth-in-a-day” implants—allow you to remove unhealthy teeth, place implants, and attach a temporary fixed bridge all in a single visit (typically within 12 hours).

2. How do they differ from traditional implants?

With traditional dental implants, you’d normally wait four to six months after placement for healing before receiving your final prosthetic. With same-day implants, you skip the long wait—the provisional bridge is installed immediately, and your permanent restoration follows in about 3–4 months.

3. Who is a good candidate for same-day implants?

Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone density and good oral health. Not every patient or site qualifies—your implant dentist will assess your bone structure, gum health, and any periodontal disease before recommending this option.

4. What are the benefits of same-day implants?

– Immediate replacement of lost teeth—walk out with a full smile the same day.
– Stable for temporary prosthetics through splinting multiple implants together.
– Helps preserve functionality, confidence, and bone architecture during healing.

5. Are there any drawbacks or special considerations?

Yes—patients need to follow a soft diet during the 3-month osseointegration period to minimize pressure on new implants. Compliance with aftercare is crucial for long-term success.

6. What does the procedure involve?

– CT scans and 3D planning.
– Tooth extraction (if needed) and implant placement, guided by computer imaging.
– Immediate placement of a temporary fixed bridge.
– Your permanent prosthetic is placed once healing and integration are complete (usually 3-4 months).

7. How long does the temporary bridge stay in?

Typically, the provisional acrylic bridge stays in place for 3–4 months before being replaced with a custom permanent restoration.

8. Is the procedure safe and comfortable?

Yes—dental implants are very safe, thanks to 3D imaging and modern technology that helps with exact placement. Many patients experience minimal discomfort and are pleased with how efficient and gentle the process is.

9. How successful are same-day implants?

Dental implants have high success rates—studies show over 95–98% success for single-tooth implants; similar outcomes are expected for same-day protocols in suitable candidates.

10. What’s the recovery like?

– Expect minor soreness and tenderness for a few days.
– A strict soft-food diet and excellent oral hygiene are key.
– Regular follow-ups to monitor healing before permanent teeth are placed.

11. Do you offer consultations and treatment planning?

Yes—there will be an initial exam and consultation, including dental and bone health assessment. If needed, additional procedures like bone grafting or peri-implantitis treatment may be recommended before or during planning.

12. Does insurance cover same-day implants?

Coverage varies, but most insurance does not cover dental implants. Dental Partners of Boston works with many insurers and offers flexible payment plans to help you confidently move forward with treatment.
